Hi everybody and welcome to Dan Snow's history hit.

Got an exciting podcast for you today. We got the brilliant Sarah London's Dale.

She's a great writer of history and she today is talking about the remarkable women,

the rebel women of the 1920s and 30s. Women like Una Marson, the first black woman to be a BBC

radio producer, Leah Manning who rescued child refugees from Civil War Torn Spain,

Alison Settle, editor of Vogue who went in second world war broke out, had to hitchhike to the

front because Montgomery refused to facilitate female journalists. This is a hugely important time

in the history of women's rights in all of our history and Sarah London's Dale is exactly the

right person to take us through it. So enjoy this. You can go to historyhit.tv, you can sign up

for the world's best history channel. If you want to watch great shows please head over there

and do that. In the meantime there is a controversy brewing and one of those, you know when the

Twitter has lit up there is a debate going on whether the history hit shop knitted night hat

is in fact and I will quote this because I'm only going to screw it up. Is in fact a crocheted

night's helmet. This is obviously huge and important to get sorted out. We quite like to call it

knitted night's hat and we get to use the amusing term history knit. If in fact it turns out to be

crocheted that provides us with some really really big really big marketing obstacles here to you.

The knitted night's hats are best selling object at the moment and I'd say a lively debate is

broken out. If you wish to go and take part please let us know what you think it is. Go to historyhit.com

slash debate. Yeah that's a thing that's a thing that's happened. Anyway in the meantime everybody

enjoy Rebel Women with Sarah Londstale.
