I love these films about these wonderful, forgotten people. A film should have been made about her time in Libya, perfect for Dames Maggie or Judi.

Add to the list of extraordinary 20th Century women featured on the BBC Archive whose lives are worthy of a David Lean epic.

We need a follow-up documentary on this story... maybe it could be Martha Kearney's next project after she leaves the Today programme 🐝
