Sonali Bhattacharyya is an award winning play write and screen writer. She is also one of the most prolific activists I have ever met, working with everyone from grassroots groups like Don’t Pay, organisers of the energy bill strike; to co-Chair of Momentum, a movement building popular support for socialist ideas and policies. Her writing and her activism are linked through themes of anti-racism and anti-imperialsm.
In this fourth series of Rebel Women, we have partnered with the Museum of Youth Culture to bring you stories of rebellious of youth through the ages. Each episode will tell previous unheard stories of women who changed society.
