Yes, we are mothers, wives, nurses and teachers, but we're also engineers, rocket scientists and neurophysicists. - Trudy Morgan

I studied engineering because my father and I agreed that my aim to be a singer/dancer/actress could come after I had one degree under my belt.

As a believer in hard hats and lipstick, I hope that everyone will realise that from an early age, we should allow our children (boys and girls) to be the best they can be and not put anyone, especially our girls, in a box.

My parents are both one of eight children, which tells you how many aunts and uncles and cousins I have, and who, by virtue of their link to me through family, have a "right" over me!
