Rebel Women for Kids: Groundbreaking Women

Rebel Women

This is Rebel Women for kids, a new podcast for … well kids. It's full of amazing stories of daring and adventure, and the best thing is that all these stories are completely true. And even though this is a podcast for you kids, we think your grown ups might quite enjoy it too.

Not that long ago, women were expected the be maids or mothers and not much else. They didn’t always go to school, they weren’t allowed careers, and they were expected to do everything their husband said. A lot of women were very sad. Some got so sad they became sick. They knew things had to change. But who was brave enough to go first? This month we discover some those pioneering women.

This podcast is designed to be used alongside our activity pack for 5-11 year olds, allowing them to explore history through play, imagination and creation.

Rebel Women for kids has been produced by Share UK, as part of our Women Activists of East London project. When not making podcasts for kids, we make shows for adults. Subscribe to make sure you don't miss an episode. Thanks to the William Morris and St James Big Local for funding today's episode.
