Naming the Overground: The Suffragette line with Helen Pankhurst and Cally Beaton
Manage episode 438465287 series 3539534
With guests Helen Pankhurst and Cally Beaton.
Tim Dunn travels the entire length of the newly named Suffragette line to interview two incredible guests about the legacy of the Suffragette movement. At the new Barking Riverside station, Tim meets Helen Pankhurst. Helen is the great granddaughter of original Suffragette organiser Emmeline Pankhurst, and the granddaughter of East End Suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst. She is also a scholar, an activist, and a CBE - and quite possibly the best qualified person on the planet to speak with Tim about the legacy of the movement and what the Suffragettes mean to people still fighting for equal rights for women in 2024.
Then right at the other end of the line, at Gospel Oak, Tim meets stand up comedian, writer, podcaster and former TV exec Cally Beaton. She speaks to Tim about how gender equality runs through her work, her amazing career, how Joan Rivers inspired her to move into comedy later in life than some, and why it's so important we're still talking about the Suffragettes.
