A series of fourteen films looking at women in Britain today - their lives and their attitudes.

The officers at Styal Prison for women, near Manchester, are dealing with women sentenced for all types of offence. Few of the public have any idea what prison work involves, because only a tiny proportion of them will ever see inside the gates of a gaol.
Isabella McWilliam is the founding governor of Styal, Nancy Holroyd is one of her assistant governors. This film looks at their lives.
