WWII resistance fighter Mary Lindell is finally getting the recognition she deserves thanks to Lindell’s List, a book by PeterGHore in which he tells the story of her remarkable life.
A week is a long time in politics they say. At the moment, things are constantly changing. Today we try and make sense of it all from a woman's point of view. Lots to talk about including Paula Sheriff's powerful question in Parliament on Wednesday night and the PM's response to it; the next day's debate in the House about parliamentarians' choice of language; the use of Jo Cox's name in debate, as well as the women who've stood out this week.
More children than ever before are surviving cancer but the effects of it can stay with them as they get older. A couple of weeks ago we heard about the impact having a child with cancer has on the family, particularly mum and dad. Today we hear from the children themselves about what it’s like growing up with cancer. We have Rosa Coker Burnett who was diagnosed with acute Myeloid Leukaemia at 11 and Niamh Hardy who was told that she had a neuroblastoma when she was 15. They're both in their twenties now. Mary Lindell was a secret agent whose story has been virtually forgotten. But today we get to know her better. She was twice decorated for bravery and she was a pioneer of the Resistance Movement. In the first days of the German occupation she set up an escape line. A book about her is out called Lindell’s List. The author, Peter Hore, talks about her actions in WWI and WWII, including a list she drew up in Ravensbruck Concentration Camp that almost certainly saved the lives of many women prisoners.
