Carol Fox is a retired lawyer and an award-winning solicitor as she championed equal pay cases for low paid women. She was also a political candidate on three occasions but was considered too controversial by half, following her decision to become a single mother by choice via fertility treatment in the late 1980s. In 2015, Carol stepped back from her life as a successful lawyer and all political activity to look after her mother who was dying of dementia. Now a grandmother herself, Carol is forging ahead to find a new path and to fulfil new dreams.
