There is only one episode left on BBC player but you can find the 3 previous ones on youtube. Found this a few weeks ago it's a really great watch in relation to the transformation of language from when it was created, to the current age. This series focuses on women and strong influential writers who fought to a position of power to change the way they were treated and percieved in a male dominated world. Claudia you'll find some good stuff in this in relation to Enheduanna(the worlds first named author), writings and brail.
Sadly it's been taken off of iPlayer, which is a shame because it did look really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI remember once seeing a documentary about forgotten women artists which was fascinating. I think that was on the BBC too. I also think I have research on the subject in a sketchbook from my foundation course. If I can find it I'll scan it in.
