Represent! Voices 100 Years On

Episode Six - Legacy


Listen Later

 In this final episode, Helen Antrobus reflects on the activists of a century ago and compares this to activists fighting today. She asks how far have we come in 100 years and how far do we still have to go? Helen questions what it means to be a feminist today and explores the popularity of items such as t-shirts made by the Fawcett Society emblazoned with the phrase, ‘This is what a feminist looks like’. Helen explores contemporary campaigns such as the campaign to Repeal the Eighth Amendment, that would allow the government of Ireland to legislate for abortion – a campaign that unfolded as the Represent! Voices 100 Years On exhibition was being installed. Finally, she signs off the series with the words from a placard carried during the Women’s March Manchester 2017, ‘From the City of Pankhurst with Love’.
