BBC Radio 4 #WomensHour is celebrating 80th anniversary on air today @womenslibrary.bsky.social. I had a 'spot' on the show 7 years ago this week on history of taking children to protests. & today it is children taking their parents on protests in France, interesting turnaround. #activism #protest

Of course diets depended on rationing, which for some women would have meant a healthier diet than they’d ever had before or later.

Women whispered to each other in corners, and children weren’t supposed to hear.

#MeeraSyal storming it on R4 #WomensHour talking about her memoir Vigilauntie. The advantages as well as the disadvantages of being an outsider. Yes, yes, yes.

Why is the practice of women not shaving their body hair still a topic of conversation in this day and age?! Shouldn't it just be accepted? Why is it even up for debate. FFS. Give me strength 😐 #womenshour

Perhaps unsurprising that it was Nadine Dorries who said this. It's a bit jarring to go on this tangent though when originally on to talk about the absolute horrors of deep fake pornography (which she has my full sympathy on, deep fakes are SO messed up). #womenshour

Apparently Nigel Farage wants to "feminise" Reform. Hmmm really?! #WomensHour
