Margaret Ekpo - Nigeria's feminist pioneer
from The History Hour · host BBC World Service
Margaret Ekpo helped establish Nigerian independence and became one of the country's first female MPs. We hear from her grandson and speak to a Nigerian feminist about why Nigeria has so few women in government today. Plus the US Supreme Court decision that threatens the voting rights of Black Americans, the policeman turned protestor who was part of the Occupy Wall Street protest, America's first woman combat pilot and the bittersweet memories of the Gaelic-speaking community who left the remote islands of St Kilda in 1930.PHOTO: Margaret Ekpo in London in August 1953 (ANL/Shutterstock)
