LONDON — Veteran actresses Judi Dench and Sian Phillips have become the first woman members of London's esteemed Garrick Club after it voted in May to allow women to join, the Guardian reported Tuesday.Founded in 1831 for actors and 'men of refinement and education,' the Garrick was one of the last such clubs not to allow women in, except as guests of men.
In March, the head of Britain's spy service Richard Moore resigned after a list of the club's membership was made public for the first time.Moore sent a message to MI6 employees acknowledging the reputational hit that news of his membership posed to the service — in particular the risk of it undermining its work to attract more women to join MI6.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's most senior policy adviser, the civil service leader Simon Case, also quit his membership.
