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. ____________________________________ Helen Pankhurst discusses her work with CARE International and Centenary Actin - more information on both organisations can be found here: https://www.careinternational.org.uk/ https://centenaryaction.org.uk/ Discover Cally Beaton's amazing podcast at: https://callybeaton.com/podcast/ And you can follow Cally on Instagram TikTok and Threads: @callybeatoncomedian

Helen Pankhurst is a writer and a scholar who works for women's rights. Her grandmother Sylvia and her great grandmother Emmeline were both suffragette leaders, and Helen carries her family name with pride. We talked about how Helen kept her family name of Pankhurst when she married, and about how she and her husband shared both their surnames with their children, in a clever way theat I've not heard before.I first met Helen when we were involved in a podcast for Care International, where we were lucky enough to talk with women from all around the world, many in crisis, but still finding joy in each other's stories, and sharing many of the same worries and issues, despite living in vastly different circumstances from each other.We also discussed the parallels being drawn between the direct action of the suffragettes, and the current Just Stop Oil protestors.We agreed how important it is for every one of us to use our vote 'to keep your piece in the jigsaw' as Helen beautifully put it. She also talked about the current campaign to bring the voting age down in this country, to include 16-18 year olds.I absolutely love how Helen has brought her children up with her personal motto of 'fun and purpose', and I can really see how that has helped her achieve her goal of leading a decent, fun life with her family around her.And by the way, all accidentally recorded on Emmeline's birthday!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. This week Tom Rivett-Carnac introduces the first of his two-part series on Momentum vs Perfection by looking at the different theories of change within the climate movement and asking if and how they can co-exist to drive the level of scale and action needed in this decisive decade. He is joined on this complex and emotive journey by guest co-host Fiona McRaith, Manager of Engagement & Delivery and Special Assistant to the President & CEO at climate philanthropy fund Bezos Earth Fund. Fiona brings a (significantly younger) Gen Z perspective to this thought-provoking discussion. Our co-hosts speak with a series of esteemed guests on this timely and important question, including:    Helen Pankhurst, Senior Advisor at international humanitarian agency CARE International, women's rights activist, and the direct descendant of Emmeline Pankhurst and Sylvia Pankhurst, both leaders in the suffragette movement  Author, educator, environmentalist, and Co-Founder of international environmental organization 350.org, Bill McKibben  Environmental activist and Co-Founder of global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion, Gail Bradbrook Jerome Foster II, Co-founder of Waic Up and youngest member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council  Director of mission-driven consulting firm Reos Partners,  Adam Kahane Previous Director of Strategy for the Cabinet Office for COP 26 (the United Nations' annual climate conference) Charles (Charlie) Ogilvie    Don't miss Part One of this incredible and timely conversation, including insights from previous movements, generational collaboration, the value of civil disobedience, the role of data and measurement, and whether agreement between sides is necessary for advancement.

While British women had been requesting the right to vote for decades, in the early 1900s, the Suffragettes refused to take no for an answer. But despite their PR expertise, as their methods became more violent, theirs was a movement that divided the nation. But what radicalized them? Were they revolutionaries? Terrorists? Or simply an oppressed majority with no legitimate way to protest? This is a Short History of the Suffragettes  Written by Jo Furniss.

Seit 1918 dürfen Frauen in Deutschland wählen, seit 1928 haben alle Frauen auch im Vereinigten Königreich das Wahlrecht. Damit wir dieses Privileg heute haben, mussten viele Frauen zuvor stark kämpfen, leiden und sogar ihr Leben lassen. Gerade wird wieder viel über die sogenannten Suffragetten von damals gesprochen - nicht unbedingt in Zusammenhang mit dem Wahlrecht aber mit dem Kampf für Frauenrechte weltweit. In Texas wurden gerade Abtreibungen quasi verboten, in Afghanistan wurden den Frauen mit einem Mal viele Rechte wieder aberkannt. Und genau deswegen fragen wir uns in dieser Folge: Wie weit sind wir gekommen? Inwiefern müssen wir heute als Frauen immer noch für unsere Rechte kämpfen und an welchen Stellen ist es vielleicht sogar schlimmer jetzt, als zu Zeiten der Suffragetten. Eingeladen haben wir uns dafür eine, die sich ihr ganzes Leben damit auseinandergesetzt hat, auch wegen ihrer Familiengeschichte: Helen Pankhurst. Sie ist die Urenkelin der wohl bekanntesten Suffragette, Emmeline Pankhurst. Wir sprechen außerdem über Feminismus und wieviel Schaden die Cancel-Culture im Moment anrichtet.

It's been announced that around 31,000 women in England will be offered the opportunity to do a smear test at home. It's all part of a trial by the NHS and experts hope it'll be a way to encourage more women to screen for the early warnings of cervical cancer. It's another step in helping women take charge of their own reproductive health. There are two consultations open at the moment. One which may see us being able to buy two brands of the contraception ‘Mini’ pills over the counter. The other is looking at whether to make permanent the current temporary arrangement allowing early medical home abortions, using pills sent through the post. Professor Lesley Regan, former chair of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists joins Emma to discuss the impact of these potential changes. David Watkins is a 42 year old teacher from Southampton and is one of the first single men in the UK to have a surrogate baby after a law change in January 2019. Previously, only couples were able to apply for a parental order, which transfers parentage from the surrogate to the intended parents after the baby is born. With the help of surrogacy and egg donation, David became a father to baby Miles in July 2020. Faye Spreadbury, a married mother of two, took on the role of surrogate. They join Emma to discuss the experience. Many of us have learned to work remotely over the last year and Parliament is no exception. This has allowed MPs to attend to Parliamentary business from their home. The Centenary Action Group is a cross-party coalition of over 100 activists, politicians and organisations that campaigns to lower barriers to women’s political participation. They say these measures should be allowed to continue once the pandemic ends as it would not only benefit MPs but would allow and encourage more women, those with BAME backgrounds and people who have disabilities to enter politics. Their 'Remotely Representative House' report sets out 21 recommendations for the future. The convenor of the group is Helen Pankhurst and Daisy Cooper MP is the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats.
