‘Surveying value in women's work
The International Council of Women (ICW, founded 1888) is one of the oldest international women’s organisations with a long interest in emerging media. The ICW’s broadcasting committee repeatedly surveyed their members for information and compiled the data into reports that it then distributed among its members. Such surveys provide insights into the evolving visions of broadcasting within the international women’s movement and specifically organ…
‘Value’ and women’s work in broadcasting
Researching the history of women's labour in broadcasting raises questions not only about women’s contribution to media productions, organisations and industries, but about how their labour has been valued. This special issue explores women's work in radio and television in Europe, India and the United States of America. The focus here is on broadcast media which is often undervalued in comparison to film. The articles highlight the diversity of …
Women's broadcasting histories and the archive
This provocation details varied perspectives of the International Women's Broadcasting Histories (IWBH) network on researching the role of women in broadcasting. The conversational form allows us to roam across the topic widely, to express a range of discrete positions and distinct arguments, with the desire to bring dilemmas to the surface and explore their implications without reduction. Responding with a series of interventionist statements ar…
Mediating women
Almost from the start of radio broadcasting, the International Council of Women (ICW) took particular interest in the medium, founding a Broadcasting Committee in 1936. This article examines the organisation’s approach to radio as it emerged in the late 1920s and 1930s. It explores these developments through the identities of three women who steered the ICW’s broadcasting work: the internationalist French-American Laura Dreyfus-Barney; the Swedis…
Your woman friend in the West
Radio played a paradoxical role in the Cold War, embraced both as a key tool for propaganda warfare as well as for promoting peace and understanding. Women, too, played paradoxical roles both in radio and on the world stage. In this paper we will attempt to explore these intersecting paradoxes in a transnational perspective by focusing on The International Association of Women in Radio and Television, founded in 1951. This international network o…
Women and radio
Since its early introduction in the domestic sphere in the 1920s, radio has been used as a medium for the expression of women's voices, needs and concerns. In this introduction we would like to mobilise an understanding of radio as a vital source for doing women's history. Women's radio programming, women broadcasters, and women listeners provide a lens through which a number of histories can be analysed. This introduction provides an overview of…
Lessons from Lilian
Scholarship has long demonstrated how a focus on women's roles can reveal vital new elements of broadcasting history, adding critical perspectives on institutional, aesthetic, communicatory, and participatory media narratives. This article asks: What happens if we stop looking at the stories of women in broadcasting as “media history”? What other interpretive lenses and disciplinary traditions might we draw on, and how might we insert media fruit…
Visions of Utopia
Drawing on manuscripts and transcripts of BBC programme output, and material from the Radio Times, and the BBC’s The Listener magazine, this article analyses radio talks and programmes that focused on Sweden in the immediate years after the Second World War when the Swedish model was widely popularised abroad. The article argues that BBC output entangled domestic politics and transnational ideas around post-war reconstruction and welfare. Sweden …
Neither worker nor housewife but citizen
This article investigates BBC radio’s Woman’s Hour in the post-war period. It explores Woman’s Hour’s focus and insistence on educating women listeners about their role as citizens, and the tensions this caused particularly between broadcasters and different groups of women. The article documents the programme’s development of public and outward looking items, such as the reporting and covering of current affairs, public debates and national poli…
