'The type of misogyny that she experienced - that the suffragettes experienced - still presents itself today. 'It presents itself through things like social media, so it's changing, it's morphing, but it's still very much there. 'And she'd be saying 'Get out there, get out there on the streets, use modern technology', so use those same methods of social media that can be used against you, use them in terms of getting that voice of change and keep doing what's needed so that we can get to equality,' she said. Asked if she thinks her great-grandmother would have been surprised at comments like Mr Trump's being made in today's era, she said: 'No I don't think she would have been surprised, because there's a theme running through these ideas of a male-dominated society.
