The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland
Having It All
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
Kirsty Wark explores the 1980s and 1990s, when legislative leaps enshrined new rights for women, but sexism was rife and women had to fight to make the promise of equality a reality. Kirsty meets pioneering entrepreneurs such as Shirley Spear, who established the Three Chimneys restaurant on the Isle of Skye and revolutionised Highland hospitality, and Karen Koren, who gave women a platform in comedy when she set up her hugely successful Gilded Balloon production company
The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland airs on BBC Scotland at 8:00 PM, Tuesday 25 June. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
