Glenys Kinnock says that she is very concerned to encourage more women into politics. She works with women's organisations locally and globally, from old Welsh mining communities to parts of the developing world, she believes that it's important for women to help each other.

"There are some women who are burdened with this queen bee notion where, once they reach power and influence, they don't want to share it, and they don't want to offer a hand up to other women. And I certainly feel I would like get more women in politics, women's representatives in parliament, in local councils, local levels - that's very important because that's where a lot of the things that influence women's lives are"
