“We were the feminist alternative to Jackie magazine.‪”‬ Rebel Women

In the depths the Winter of Discontent, as the Women’s Liberation movement was crumbling, Jane Conor and a group of idealistic young women brought Shocking Pink into the world; a feminist fanzine, with a neon glow, that would grab the attention of everyone, from the BBC to The Sun.
In this fourth series of Rebel Women, we have partnered with the Museum of Youth Culture to bring you stories of rebellious of youth through the ages. Each episode will tell previously unheard stories of women who changed society.
