'Unbind the Wing': Y merched o Ardd Bodnant

Ein dathliad arbennig yr hydref hwn i nodi ymgyrch y bleidlais a chanrif ers ennill y Bleidlais i Fenywod!

Pleidleisiau i ferched!

Y tu ôl i welyau a ffiniau'r ardd, tair merch gref a theulu wedi'u huno gan bleidlais.

" No one has done more for the advancement of the feminine sex during recent years than Lady McLaren...What with her witty speeches, her indomitable zeal, and the ready manner in which she subscribes to every cause that is likely to benefit her sisters, she may be said to occupy a unique place"

Laura McLaren, of Bodnant Garden, who wrote the Women's Charter

Ymgyrchodd Laura McLaren nid yn unig i ennill y bleidlais i’w hun ond ar ran menywod ym mhob man. Roedd yn siarad ar ran y forwyn a’r wraig tŷ yn ogystal â menywod oedd yn berchen ar eiddo, a dadleuodd yn angerddol am faterion amrywiol o iechyd i dai ac o waith i gyflogau.

Yn ei geiriau ei hun...

Unbind the wing

" A nation ruled by men alone is like a bird which tries to fly with one wing bound, it rises, flutters, and falls again to earth. Dare to unbind that wing and have patience till it gains strength, then men and women will rise together and lift humanity to heights before unknown. "
