Autorenporträt
A pioneering Portsmouth policewoman, Gladys Howard lived a full and remarkable life. In 1947 she applied to join Portsmouth City Police and was the first post-war woman to be accepted. She gained promotion to sergeant in 1952, and in 1963 became the first woman inspector in the force. When Gladys was forced to retire from policing in 1976 because of her age, she cried when she went to hand in her uniform. But on that day her local City Councillor suddenly died and she was asked to stand in the by-election to elect a new councillor. Gladys agreed, going on to serve thirteen years on the City Council and becoming Lord Mayor in 1989. She lived to celebrate her 100th birthday in 2017.
