There's No Women Like Show Women

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A two-part celebration of Britain's funfairs as seen through the eyes of fairground women.
1: Fat Lil, Miss Tiny and the Lion-faced Lady
Clare Jenkins hears stories of the freak shows and novelty acts, including the woman who could swear for half an hour without using the same word twice. And she hears the amazing stories of the Headless Wonder, as well as the "World's Ugliest Woman"who went to court to prove it.
