We're celebrating International Women's Day 2026 with a selection of interviews from our collection featuring some recognisable Barnsley voices and others we'll introduce you to for the first time: Rita Britton, the Barnsley fashion icon, Dorothy Hyman the Olympic champion, 'Mrs Barnsley' Mel Dyke. Prof Selina Wray, Dana Kubick who designed tins for the Barnsley Canister company and Gail Haimes shares her memories of working at Slazengers.

These short clips are from much longer interviews which you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/barnsleymuseums/sets/international-womens-day-2026
