Monica McWilliams played one of the most pivotal roles in the Northern Ireland peace process.
She spent two years at the negotiating table which finally resulted in the Good Friday Agreement on 10 April 1998.
That made her a joint signatory to an international peace accord – something that very few women in the world manage to be.
She speaks to Alys Harte about the representation of women in the historic retelling of Northern Ireland’s peace process and why women are so often written out of the history they make.
