Behind the Wireless tells the story of women at the BBC in the 1920s and 30s. Women were employed at all levels, except the very top, for instance as secretaries, documentary makers, advertising representatives, and librarians. Broadcasting was brand new in Britain and the BBC developed without many of the overt discriminatory practices commonplace at the time.
Women also produced the programmes aimed at female listeners and brought women broadcasters to the microphone. Three women held Director level posts, Hilda Matheson (Director of Talks), Mary Somerville (Director of School Broadcasting), and Isa Benzie (Foreign Director). There was an ethos of equality and the chance to rise through the ranks from accounts clerk to accompanist.
But lurking behind the facade of modernity were hidden inequalities in recruitment, pay, and promotion and in 1932 a marriage bar was introduced.
