The campaign founder's biography[1] sounds interesting:
Born in 1938, Chrissie largely missed out on formal education
and could not read until she was in her mid‑teens.
And later:
In 1994 Chrissie received an OBE and in 1995 she was awarded an
honorary MA by Manchester University. Two years later, she received
an honorary doctorate from the Open University. And in 1999 she
officially joined the 'establishment' when she was listed in Who's Who.
