Quiet Revolutionaries

Episode 4 - The Case of Dorothy Blackwell


Listen Later

This fourth episode focuses on Dorothy Blackwell's legal battle with her husband over ownership of housekeeping savings in the 1940s. We explore how her story powerfully represented the experiences of many married women just like her, exposed the injustices of the law, and became the Married Women’s Association’s most effective propaganda tool.

Music by Axletree.
