Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel...they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer...It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.
Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

Gabalfa is a district in the north of the city of Cardiff. It is characterised by
an enormous fly over road (the Gabalfa Interchange) which crosses the A48 road in
a north-south direction. The area is also the site of the All Nations Centre.
The name is derived from the Welsh 'Ceubalfa', which is literally translated as 'place
of the boat'. It was formerly the site of a ferry crossing across the River Taff,
upon which a school is now built.
The electoral ward of Gabalfa lies within the parliamentary constituency of Cardiff
North. Gabalfa is currently served by two Liberal Democrats councillors - Ed Bridges,
who was elected in the 2004 council elections, and Cathy Pearcy, who was elected
in a 2002 by-election following the death of an incumbent Welsh Labour Party councillor.
It is bounded by Heath to the north, Cathays and Riverside to the South, and Llandaff
North to the northwest.
