Lockdown Legends: women of the scrub hubs

Rebel Women

During the 2020 Covid Crisis, Jennie Caminada was part of a group of ordinary people who saved lives. Yet none set foot in a hospital, and all but one were women.

In this fifth series of Rebel Women, we’re resetting a little. Because the women we’re featuring this time were definitely not our usual “troublemakers”. Some of them may have been in their previous lives, but in the spring of 2020 they were the ones holding everything together.
