Women of the Foreign Office

Britain's First Female Ambassadors

Elizabeth Warburton , Richard Warburton
In 1894 the Foreign Office hired its first female employee, a typist called Sophie Fulcher, but it was not until 1976 that the first female ambassador was appointed. This volume discusses the obstacles that prevented women from playing a role in British diplomacy, drawing on first person accounts from those who broke through the constraints of law, prejudice and convention, and exploring the wider campaign for equality.
