"On an Equal Footing with Men?" Women and Work at the BBC, 1923
“ON AN EQUAL FOOTING WITH MEN?” WOMEN AND WORK AT THE BBC, 1923-1939 Catherine Murphy Goldsmiths College University of London PhD 2011 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Catherine Murphy, hereby declare that all the material contained in this thesis is my own work. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of women’s employment in the BBC during the 1920s and 1930s and poses the questions – what was the BBC like as a place for women to work, and how equal were they? While there has been wide research into a variety of aspects of the BBC during the inter-war years, to date there has been only cursory consideration of the role of women in the Company/Corporation. The BBC is a particularly significant organisation to study because women worked at all levels, apart from the very top; as charwomen and kitchen hands; as secretaries and clerical staff; as drama producers, advertising representatives and Children’s Hour Organisers. Prior to the Second World War, three women, Hilda Matheson, Mary Somerville and Isa Benzie, attained Director status. The BBC viewed itself as a progressive employer, one that supported equal promotion prospects and equal pay. However, understated sexual discrimination was commonplace and in 1932, a Marriage Bar was introduced. The practice of marriage bars was widespread in the inter-war years yet the BBC was never fully committed to its bar and ‘exceptional’ married women and women judged to be useful to the Corporation continued to be employed and retained. This study considers the many different experiences of women and work at the BBC: married and single, waged and the salaried, young and old; graduate and non-graduate. -

High Storrs Paralympic Hero
A Newsletter for High Storrs Alumni - Edition 2 - Spring 2017 High Storrs Paralympic Hero It was a pleasure to welcome ex-student and Paralympic Gold Medallist, Grace Clough into school in September. Grace posed for photographs with students who were keen to hear her stories about Rio and how she won her medal! Grace remembers her time at High Storrs fondly, Grace Clough with her PE teacher, Mark Bennehan where she represented school at athletics, football and basketball. It was during her time at University that she was talent spotted for rowing, having never even sat in a boat before, and the rest, as they say, is history! Grace is a fabulous ambassador for rowing, the school and para-sports. She demonstrates strength, determination and confidence; conducting herself in a positive but humble manner. She only took up rowing in 2013, and is already a Paralympic Games gold medallist and double World Champion. We’re so proud of our Inspiring the current students of High Storrs paralympian hero alumnae. WELCOME TO THE HIGH STORRIAN Welcome to the second edition of our annual Alumni newsletter The High Storrian. We hope you enjoy reading about your old school and your fellow High Storrians. High Storrs is very proud to introduce our wonderful new Head teacher, Mrs Claire Tasker. I am both honoured and excited to have been appointed as Headteacher of High Storrs School. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first few months at the school getting to know students, staff, parents, families, local Primary schools and the community. I moved to High Storrs from Tapton School where I was Co-Headteacher and Director of a Teaching School.
