Actress Miriam Margolyes has voiced a special series of letters about suffrage women on tour in a new BBC short film to mark the centenary of women getting the vote.
The letters, which are kept at the Women’s Library at the LSE, were written 100 years ago by suffragist Ray Costelloe. The letters chart the journey of a small group of female students from Newnham College, Cambridge as they travel across the country in a wooden caravan.
Margoyles reads the high-spirited letters and postcards for the film, which was published on the BBC Online yesterday.
The letters are also being broadcast across BBC Local Radio from today onwards.
