Episode 19: Ladies First the Musical with Alice Johnstone

Ladies First The Musical is a new musical based on the life of the first female doctor in the UK: Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. And we were beyond excited to have the feminist icon, composer and writer Alice Johnstone on our podcast to talk more about her work. During this episode, we learn more about the lives of Elizabeth, her sister Millicent Fawcett and Emily Davies, as well as take a look at the Women's Health Strategy for England and the knock-on effect of women's experiences being ignored in healthcare. What's more, we are feeling pretty bloody lucky to be able to share a behind the scenes listen to one of the hits from the musical itself! We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. *** www.alicejohnstonemusic.com www.ladiesfirstthemusical.com https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1867/may/20/clauses-3-4-progress-may-17#column_817 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/womens-health-strategy-for-england/womens-health-strategy-for-england *** As always, The Unfairer Sex is not sponsored so, if you liked our show, please show your support by liking, subscribing and sharing on all your favourite social media platforms!
