In the final episode we’ll meet Elizabeth Nyamayaro, Laura Bates, Caroline Criado-Perez, as-well as incredible female MPs serving in all strands of government, powerful women writers who have written their names into history, and the current crop of determined, resilient campaigners who, collectively, target a broad spectrum of injustices.

However, the narrative that women have achieved full equality and that our job is done is frankly ludicrous, so we’ll also explore the new mechanisms for silencing women that have evolved in the modern era.
