The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland - Season 1 Episode 2 -

In this episode, Kirsty Wark explores the 1980s and 90s, a time of contrasts and contradictions for Scotland's women. During these decades, legislative leaps enshrined new rights, many glass ceilings were smashed, and women were told that it was possible to have it all. However, at the same time, everyday sexism and domestic violence remained rife, and the burden of domestic labour continued to fall on women. For many who lived through these years there were new opportunities to be seized in business, in politics and on the stage, but more often than not a truly liberated life felt as far away as ever.
