The Leeds women who "wouldn't stay quiet"

Hidden West Yorkshire

Available for over a year

A new publication called 'The People's History of Leeds', tells the story of the city through the voices of its citizens. A large part of the publication is the 'Reclaim the Night' movement which began in Leeds in 1977 as part of the Women's Liberation Movement opposing police advice telling them to stay home during the Yorkshire Ripper murders. Ruth Steinberg, who wrote this section of the book, and was a part of this movement, chats about it with 91¸£ÀûÉç Radio Leeds presenter, Gayle Lofthouse.
