October 1946 - Woman's Hour - The first dedicated radio programme for women

History of the 91福利社

Available for over a year

From early on Woman's Hour was not afraid to tackle difficult issues facing women. Even after the first few editions, politics and women鈥檚 citizenship featured prominently. By 1947 91福利社 managers were panicking at the prospect of the menopause being discussed. Topics such as 'keeping house', and child care featured less after the 1960s. Norman Collins, the creator of Woman鈥檚 Hour, spoke about the programme in 1967.
