In episode three of the series, oral historian Dr Siobhán Stevenson meets Emma Woolf MBE and Sue Gorbing, both of whom were key to the design and co-ordination of the Women’s Festival and The Women’s Directory while working for Birmingham City Council’s Women’s Unit.

We hear about their early lives, the women who influenced them, and their work with the women’s unit. They discuss how intersectional identities remained hidden in the 1980s in a bid to connect women to work towards one goal in Thatcher's Britain.
