on BBC Radio 4 FM

Introduced from Manchester by Helen Boaden
'She was the most gentle person I have ever met. I was fascinated by her low voice and speedwell-blue eyes which, though they twinkled at you when she spoke, seemed to gaze into distances - as though she was looking out to sea.'
Writer and broadcaster Phoebe Hesketh remembers her extraordinary Aunt Edith, the leading Preston suffragette whose dedication to the movement turned her life and her marriage upside down. Also, a glimpse of what may possibly be England's last surviving mackintosh, the smells, the squeaks and the explosions that went with it. Producer JENNIFER HOLDEN BBC Manchester Serial:
