Statue unveiled of Welsh writer and feminist Elaine Morgan

Monument to evolutionary theorist and TV scriptwriter in Mountain Ash celebrated by campaigners

When she arrived to study at the University of Oxford, Elaine Morgan was mistaken for a cleaner because of her broad south Wales valleys accent.

But she went on to be a scriptwriter, evolutionary theorist and trailblazing feminist, and on Friday a statue of the Welsh renaissance woman was unveiled in the town of Mountain Ash, where she tried to change the world from her desk.
