Dignam successfully campaigned for free hormone replacement therapy in Ireland's 2025 budget and emphasized the alarming statistic that 10% of women leave their jobs due to menopause symptoms. She highlighted how medical research has historically excluded women and how the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study created lasting damage through fear-mongering about hormone replacement therapy.
Author Mina Valentin provided fascinating historical insights into women and firearms during the Georgian era, explaining that while it was unusual for women to carry pistols, it wasn't uncommon in specific circumstances. These specially-made pistols were smaller, lighter, and highly decorated, designed for women traveling without male protection.
