October 1946 - Woman's Hour - The first dedicated radio programme for women
From early on Woman's Hour was not afraid to tackle difficult issues facing women. Even after the first few editions, politics and women’s citizenship featured prominently.

Norman Collins, the creator of Woman’s Hour, spoke about the programme in 1967.
