Joe Farrell examines the stories of six great but forgotten people and asks why they have been so neglected.
5: Catherine Booth. In her day she was a famous preacher and campaigner, and was mourned by thousands on her early death in 1890 - hers was the third largest funeral in Victorian England. However, since her death, she has been overshadowed by the reputation of her longer-living husband William, who has also been given most of the credit for the founding of their great social and religious movement-the Salvation Army. She was also one of the first campaigners against the sexual abuse of children and worked towards changing society's attitude towards prostitution. Joe Farrell talks to Roy Hattersley , Patricia Hollis , some of Booth's descendants and members of today's Salvation Army about this remarkable woman. Producer Jane Greenwood
