Monica McWilliams tells the story of the Northern Ireland Womens’ Coalition  
From 1996 to 2006, Northern Ireland had a political party with a difference.   It was a party, for women- just for women.  
 In 1998, two of its members, co-founder, Monica McWilliams and Jane Morrice, were elected to the assembly, playing an integral role in the Good Friday Agreement.    
 Jessica Rice interviews Monica McWilliams on the party that changed the political landscape of NI forever.
