"I must admit that a lot of women aren't treated very nicely," she added. "A lot are but a lot more aren't."

Faith also noticed how the way women are treated has changed - using her own recent experiences to highlight the respect some women do receive from others. 

"...since having my accident I've noticed how people act towards you as well. Youngsters stand aside for me when I go past with my stick. I get a lot more respect from them - both for being a woman and having had an accident." 

She isn't planning anything special to mark International Women's Day but she said she is very well looked after by her sons, granddaughter, and great-grandchildren. 

Maggie - who hadn't heard of International Women's Day before - agreed that women seem to receive more respect nowadays than they may have in the past.

"You just need to do what you want," she said, and she's pleased for women like her daughter who can do that.

Win hadn't heard of International Women's Day either and said she doesn't remember it being a "thing" when she was younger, and busy working and raising her family.

"It's not something I think about - you just did it," she said.

Millie Kimber told Express that she turns 91 on her next birthday. 

During the year she was born legislative change was happening in Guernsey which would have an impact on every female thereafter.

In 1933, the States first female Deputy, Marie Randall tried to get the voting age for women equalised with that of men. She was unsuccessful at that attempt but just a few years later she tried again and in 1938, after a proposal from the Bailiff, the voting age for women came down to 20.

Since then the voting age for everyone has been lowered twice further to 18, then to 16.

Other changes that have happened during the lifetimes of the women interviewed by Express include:

Contraceptives

Oral contraceptives - known as the Pill - were created by 1950, and approved for use in the UK in 1960. It was introduced in Guernsey at around the same time.

Free contraceptives to u21-year-old females in Guernsey was approved in 2017 and has been credited with a reduction in unintended teenage pregnancies.

Abortion

Abortion was legalised in the UK in 1967 and in Guernsey in 1996.

In 2021 deputies voted to change the island's abortion law.

Education

In 2008, Guernsey raised its school leaving age to 16 for every pupil. Prior to that children could leave school in the term they turned 15 - before the age they could  sitt any formal exams. 

Before that, children left school even earlier. Prior to the Second World War and the Occupation of Guernsey, many children left school at around 13. Girls in particular were not encouraged to stay at school and many entered domestic service.

Income Tax

Until last year, married women were jointly assessed with their husband and could not discuss their tax account with officials unless they had his permission.  

That changed in 2022 when it was agreed that from 1 January 2023, married couples/civil partners would be taxed independently. 

Elected officials

The first woman to hold the office of parish constable in Guernsey was Diana Meldrum, who was elected to the position in St Peter's parish in 1975.

The first woman to hold a Crown officer's position on the island is Megan Pullum QC. She is currently the Procurer, a role she was appointed to in 2016, and was previously HM Comptroller.

The first female Deputy Bailiff is Jessica Roland, who was appointed in 2020.

Deputy Heidi Soulsby was Guernsey's first female Vice President of the Committee for Policy and Resources (Deputy Chief Minister) - the most senior political role ever held by a woman. She was elected to the role in 2020 and held it until her resignation from P&R in 2022.
