In the first part of this episode, Lizzie and Amanda are joined by Dr Alex Round to find out more about Procter’s close friend Bessie Parkes and the feminist circles in which both women moved and wrote.  

In the second part, they speak to Professor James Mussell from the University of Leeds about a publication that both Procter and Parkes were involved in, The English Woman’s Journal (digitalised by the Nineteenth Century Serials Edition) and reflect on its origins, readership, and significance.   

Written, presented and produced by Elizabeth Ludlow and Amanda Vernon
