In this talk Sarah Lonsdale tells you of the struggles, and the triumphs of a group of women who refused to bury their dreams, from the ‘lady’ driver who drove around the world, to the mountaineer who pioneered ‘manless’ climbing, to the Jamaican who would become the first black woman producer at the BBC’.

Who were they and how did they do it?

‘Women in the interwar years faced enormous obstacles to fulfilling their dreams. They had only just won the vote, they faced discrimination in education, the workplace and sexist attitudes generally that assumed women were less able than men. But some women did manage to break into the masculine world of politics, activism, engineering, mountaineering and journalism.
