It also addresses the stigma and shame surrounding menstruation, which exacerbates the challenge of accessing necessary products. This video is excerpted from BBC’s My World, a program created for teenagers eager to learn more about the important stories shaping our world.
In Virginia Woolf, the Activist host Lily Cole explores the revolutionary impact Virginia Woolf had on society in the early 20th Century.

This video is excerpted from BBC’s Icons: The Greatest Person of the 20th Century, a documentary series celebrating the achievements of the most influential figures of the era.
