Picks of the week
Philippa Gregory’s Normal Women
Widely available, episodes weekly
Philippa Gregory puts previously invisible women at the centre of history, with contributions from Louise Casey and Geri Halliwell-Horner. It shines a light on the women who flew Spitfires, built ships and campaigned for their rights. The first episode, expertly told, looks at the brave women who sparked riots for all the right reasons, from the Peasants’ Revolt through Greenham Common to the vigil for Sarah Everard.
