In 1952, the Married Women's Association (MWA) had a shocking row that made the front pages of national newspapers and led to the resignation of virtually its entire Executive Committee. This was because of the actions of the then-President of the MWA: barrister Helena Normanton. This fifth episode takes a closer look at this fight. And, in the second half of this episode, we learn more about MWA member Doreen Gorsky, who was the first female BBC Executive.
