In the run up to International Women's Day, this special edition of Witness History will introduce you to five women who have been involved in extraordinary moments of history.
In the run up to International Women's day, Witness History goes back 50 years to hear from the first black woman to become a headteacher in London, and to Russia for an eyewitness account of Stalin's final terrifying purge in the Soviet Union. The programme heads to the 1970s, and hears the story of the South Asian women who galvanised Britain's trade union movement, and speaks to Carmen Callil, the founder of Virago Press.
