Are women's toilets a feminist issue? In this episode, we speak to Eduardo Reyes, commissioning and features editor at the Law Society Gazette, about the Law Society's installation of women’s lavatories in 1923. We discuss what this tells us about how institutions responded to early women solicitors, and the importance of male allies in feminist campaigning. Click on the image below to listen to the podcast.

In this episode, we speak to Professor Caroline Derry about the role of criminal law in recognising and silencing lesbianism, and what, if anything, this has to do with Queen Victoria.
