Writing Women’s Lives – Radio Feature for Occupy the Airwaves, International Women’s Day, Wednesday 8 March 2023

Posted on 24th June, 2023

For this year’s International Women’s Day I took part in a radio feature on Writing Women’s Lives for Dreadnought South West’s Occupy the Airwaves which was broadcast on IWD, 8 March 2023. I joined Suzie Grogan and Karen Hunt to discuss some of the rewards and challenges of writing and researching women’s biographies.

Suzie Grogan is writing a biography of Harriet Martineau, “the first female sociologist”; Karen Hunt is working on the life of socialist and suffragist Dora Montefiore; and I’m writing about suffrage campaigner and pacifist, Millicent Price (née Browne).
