The First Female News Reader in the BBC News

In the early days of news reporting, particularly on radio, it was all male presenters. They wouldn't allow female presenters because they didn't want them to go through reading bad news like mew stories. The first female a news reader was called missus giles borritt in 19 33. She was there for two months, and the b b c took her off the earh for technical reasons - technically agender. We were asses to women back da. I mean, doubly so. That's terrible.
