    Ep 2: Unflappable
    Nov 17 2022

    The first female youth cult of modern times means a revolution in hair, shockingly short skirts and yes, more dancing.

    But what about the ‘unflappable’ women who became professionals and politicians, thanks to the change in female status brought about during the war? Meet the controversial woman who pioneered female policing, but rather overdid it.

    Ep 3: Britain Off Its Head
    Nov 17 2022

    We introduce the nightclub queen who employed ‘292 women of the unfortunate class’.
