A THREAD on #Dundee Victorian campaigner agnst poverty, Mary Lily Walker. Her core motivation was t health of women&children. She was BORN 157 yrs ago today, 5 July 1863. I hv loved being part of efforts in t last decade to renew t public's memory of her. Here are some memories.

3. Here's a pic of t 2013 conference we held to mark t Centenary of Mary Lily Walker's death. Yep, that's @JohnCarnochan speaking! John has built a reputation in calling for greater investmnt in women & children's health. As a police officer, he called for more health visitors.
