Episode One - 1918

In this six part series, we reflect on those who campaigned for better representation; most famously the suffragists and the militant suffragettes. We explore what it means to vote and how else you can make your voice heard. We ask is it ever acceptable to break the law in protest? And how far have we really come in 100 years?

Presented by Programme Officer and suffrage expert Helen Antrobus, the podcast series covers a section of the exhibition in each episode, exploring key objects and archives in depth.
