40%.

That number changed history.

For the first time ever, 266 women now sit in the UK House of Commons, making up 40.9% of all MPs.

So what did we do?

We photographed them.

Hundreds of women photographers from across the UK, brought together by the Royal Photographic Society Women in Photography Group, set out to create a visual record of this moment. Not because 40% is the finish line, but because history deserves to be seen, remembered and preserved.

Now we need your help.

The photographs are made. The stories are there. But unless we reach our Kickstarter goal, this extraordinary project may never become the beautiful book it deserves to be.

So today I’m asking for a little extra push.

If you’ve been cheering women on, if you believe representation matters, if you’ve ever supported the arts, photography, or simply love seeing history documented… this is your moment.

And when I say everyone, I really do mean EVERYONE.

Every pledge matters.
Every share matters.
Every contribution brings us one step closer to making sure this project doesn’t disappear into a hard drive somewhere, but lives on as a permanent record for future generations.

Because sometimes 40% simply isn’t enough.

And now… a BIG shout-out to the amazing Sue Wright, Chair of the RPS Women in Photography Group, for bringing this project to life, for bringing all of us together, and for having the passion (and superhuman patience!) to coordinate us all. Gosh… it couldn’t have been easy! 😉
