"Progress is a bit like development," Jennie says from the outset. "It refers to a movement to an improved state." Jennie mentions commercial and economic "progress?" within large cities but emphasises a range of social developments aimed at ending discrimination that have led to positive transformations in the 20th and the first two decades of the 21st Centuries: Feminism, the "Me Too" movement, and discrimination based on Disability.

Jennie ends her address today on a cheerful, hopeful note. So listen on!
