Guest Judith Mackrell's thrilling 2021 book The Correspondents: Six Women Writers on the Front Lines of World War II sets the stage for our discussion of wartime correspondent Virginia Cowles and her sensational 1941 memoir, Looking for Trouble, which was reissued by Faber this fall. 

Flinging off her heels under shellfire in Civil War Spain. Taking tea with Hitler after a Nuremberg rally. Gossipping with Churchill by his goldfish pond. The pioneering 1930s female war correspondent Virginia Cowles did all of these things. In this special episode, we're joined by not one, but two experts to discuss the life of the trailblazing Virginia Cowles. The first is the author Judith Mackrell, whose most recent book, Going with the Boys, follows six women journalists, including Virginia, who reported on the Second World War. The second is multi-award winning journalist and senior foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times, Christina Lamb, who has written the foreword to the re-issue of Virginia's memoir.  We join Virginia in 1938 as she reports from a Europe on the brink of the Second World War.  As ever, maps, images and much more about this episode is to be found at our website tttpodcast.com. Click here to order Virginia Cowles' and Judith Mackrell's book from John Sandoe's who, we are delighted to say, are supplying books for the podcast. Show notes Scene One: September, Nuremberg. Virginia attends a Nuremberg Rally and afterwards has a mind boggling conversation with Unity Mitford, a close friend of Hitler's. Scene Two: August, Prague. Virginia speaks to Czech citizens who fear imminent German aggression.  Scene Three: October, London. Virginia has a conversation with Neville Chamberlain in the aftermath of the Munich Agreement.  Memento: Christina chooses Virginia's high heels, and Judith chooses one of the Nazi government's traditional new year posters depicting an image of a helmeted German soldier with the caption “1939”.

It’s hard for teenage girls to make their voices heard at the best of times, let alone in the midst of a global pandemic. This week Mick chats to playwright and co-director of Illumine Theatre, Lisa Parry, who's written an excellent play, The Merthyr Stigmatist, about just this. They also talk about small-town Wales, and that time a cockatiel decapitated the baby Jesus. Prepare for your mind to be blown as Hannah gets on the Zoom with writer Judith Mackrell, to talk about her new book Going With The Boys: Six Extraordinary Women Writing From The Front Line, a group biography of six incredible women working as Second World War correspondents. In Jenny off the Blocks, Jen’s got beef with clay as she gives us the lowdown on the French Open, and in Rated or Dated, we're hailing the four corners of shite special effects as we watch 1996's The Craft.

Judith Mackrell has had an incredible career as a dance critic and as a writer. When it comes to dance, particularly in the UK, Judith’s expertise, knowledge and commentary is cherished. Judith studied a degree in English Literature at University, and was exploring life as an academic when things started to shift. Dance has since become an incredible passion. Judith started writing for The Observer and now writes for the Guardian UK. She has authored the books 'Bloomsbury Ballerina',  ' Flappers: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation’ and 'The Unfinished Palazzo: Life, Love and Art in Venice'. I met Judith on a day where there was a good 20cm of snow on the ground outside as it fell steadily throughout the interview. It was the week of the Beast from the East, that left the people of the UK shivering through their coldest week in over 8 years.  In this interview we covered a range of territory, primarily centered on gender equality and dance.  We discussed the structures of dance, looking at the numbers of men being given choreographic opportunities over women, the #METOO movement and ways in which we might think and agitate for change. Judith has some great advice for female dancers: “Sounds like a Hallmark Card, but focus on what your gift is, what your talent is, what you are. Know that if someone’s offered you a job it is because they have seen something individual in you and try and cherish that. […] Don’t try and be someone else. […] There is nothing more exciting than seeing a dancer who is completely individual. They don’t need to be perfect, but to have that flame inside.” For male dancers or men in the industry Judith suggests that change will come from men, “simply by being aware”. Also, that it is the responsibility for men to speak up for women and “recognise when a woman’s confidence is failing a little bit.” There is something wonderful about speaking to thinkers and writers about dance. Their perspectives and insights add so much colour the world of dance. If you enjoyed this episode, you will also enjoy this one from Deborah Jowitt from New York.

A few weeks ago I shared late night nachos at Sunset Grill in Hillsboro Village with two of my dearest friends, Ben and Elizabeth.  We had just watched the movie Boyhood across the street at the Belcourt.  Boyhood is the kind of movie that would show at the Belcourt –a non-profit movie theatre specializing in documentaries, artstic, and innovative films.  The director, Richard Linklater, filmed the same cast over twelve years and, like the title suggests, it’s about childhood and growing up.  Literally the boy actor grows into a man before your eyes.  So, we were discussing the movie over nachos and Ben says, “I can’t help but think about what the movie would have been like if it were about girlhood.”I laughingly said, "You would say that!"  (Ben might be more of a feminist than I am because of his deep appreciation for Marylynne Robinson’s poetry, fiction, and prose…) and replied, “What would the movie womanhood look like?”  I rambled on, “What if I filmed my best friends over the next ten years and see what happens?”“I think I’d watch that,” Ben responded, “What would you call it?”And without really thinking I replied, “Modern Day Flappers.”We kept eating nachos and discussing various parts of the movie that we liked — but the idea didn’t leave my mind and the next day I typed in the domain name: moderndayflappers.com.  It was available.  Then I Googled “Modern Day Flappers” and found two interesting articles: Five Signs Your a Modern Day Flapper in the Huff Post and Modern-Day Flappers: Lena Dunham and Girls from Biographile.  Both reference the same book published in January of this year Flappers: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation by Judith Mackrell.  I immediately searched for the book at Nashville public library and sent it to the branch near my house.I love the parallel between Lena Dunham and Girls and flappers.  I have seen every episode of Girls and I am intoxicated by the woman’s locker room conversation put on national television from a realistic perspective in an authentic and unapologetic tone.  Yet, there is more than one conversation going on in a women’s locker room!  Many of my friends have talked about how we resonate with Dunham’s characters, yet they do not allow for their spiritual domains to influence their life choices and their context of NYC is very different than Nashville!A few days later, I picked up the book from our branch and read in the introduction, “The young women of this era weren’t the first generation in history to seek a life beyond marriage and motherhood; they were, however, the first significant group to claim it as a right (pg. 5).”  “Yes. This.” The voice in my gut said when I read those words…A few pages later Mackrell’s words resonated again with this statement about the six women whom she presents to represent flappers, “Often they feel closest to us when they were struggling and uncertain.  None of them had role models to follow as they grappled with the implications of their independence.  Their mothers and grandmothers could not advise them how to combine sexual freedom with love, or how to combine their public image with personal happiness (pg. 10).”I feel a lot of uncertainty when I try to articulate how to be a woman, in the south, in public and private settings, seeking my right to an identity outside of wife or mother, navigating singleness, love, sex, and independence, while also discovering and being found by God, and desperately trying to “be human in the most inhumane of ages (Thomas Merton).”  All of this coupled with the fact that I am clergy and “should” know these things!I, for sure, do not have all the answers — but I do have a ton of questions.  Therefore, over the next year of my life — “30, flirty, and thriving” — I am going to ask as many questions as possible and ask them of those who are on the journey with me — my modern day flappers — my late 20something and 30something friends who are also seeking their identities, wholeness, and love.  I hope to discover parts of myself in the stories I unearth in them.I will record my interviews in a podcast called — you guessed it — Modern Day Flappers!
