Bloody Brilliant Women, with Cathy Newman

Miscellaneous


In this episode we’ll meet Dorothy Lawrence, Flora Sandes, Isabella Clark, and Britain’s so-called ‘splendid women’ who were entering professions hitherto withheld from them. Through their stories we’ll learn about extraordinary journeys on the frontline during WWI, the ‘military maids’, and how the War revealed new opportunities for women to enter the workplace, as-well as new ways of exploiting their labour. 'Bloody Brilliant Women: The Pioneers, Revolutionaries and Geniuses Your History Teacher Forgot to Mention' is available in paperback from Waterstones (po.st/BloodyBrilliantWomenWS) and Amazon (po.st/BloodyBrilliantWomen ), audiobook (po.st/iTunesBrilliantWomenAudio) and eBook (po.st/iTunesBrilliantWomenE) from Apple Books.
