As I sat watching the opening night performance of ‘Blue Stockings’, I began to think how fortuitous this play stands given the recent context of events in our federal government. Ms. Swale’s play chronicles the battles fought over 125 years ago to earn women the right to graduate from Cambridge University’s Girton college. In 2019, three women from our federal government are fighting battles within the governing Liberal Party over the SNC/Lavalin affair.
