About Lady Rhondda: Born Margaret Haig-Thomas, Lady Rhondda was a suffragette who led a compelling campaign for women's rights in Newport. A trailblazer of her time, she became the most prominent global businesswoman of her era. Chairing seven of the 33 companies she sat on, she made her mark as a business magnate, defying gender norms. Notably, in 1926, Lady Rhondda was elected as the Institute of Directors' first female president.
