Molly MacArthur in the first episode.

Status: Lost

The World of Women is an early BBC Television Service talk show. Broadcast in 1937, it was one of the first television programs to focus exclusively on women, with the premise involving various women discussing their social and/or artistic activities. Additionally, it was one of the first television shows to receive a second series.

Background

The program was presented by Mary Adams, who is credited as the first female television producer.[1] Initially, a six-part series, The World of Women's premise was to showcase the careers of notable women.[2][3] Episodes were broadcast on roughly a fortnightly basis.

The Episodes

The first episode was broadcast on January 12th, 1937, featuring theatre costume and set designer Molly MacArthur.[2][3] According to issue 693 of Radio Times, McArthur began theatre work in 1923 at the Oxford Playhouse, and prior to the broadcast, was designing the settings for The Winter's Tale to be presented at Stratford later in 1937.[2][3] In the 15-minute broadcast, she discussed how the settings for the play Love's Labour's Lost was provided for the Old Vic.[4][2][3] The second episode aired on 25th January, and featured Mary Field, the producer behind the Secrets of Nature documentaries.[5][6][7] Field notably had no training in science, but would ultimately succeed in providing key film direction that combined education with instruction.[5] In the episode, she showcased the techniques and apparatuses used for the films, while also allowing some fragments of the final product to be shown.[6][7]

Episode 3, broadcast on 8th February,[8][9] featured Dame Laura Knight, whose skill in painting and pottery allowed her to become only the second woman to be granted permanent full membership of the Royal Academy, in 1936.[10] She had already been made a Dame in 1929,[10] and in modern times is cited for allowing greater recognition for female artists, considering that the British art establishment comprised mainly of men.[11][10] In the episode, she discussed a few of her key pictures, including The Ballet, which featured in the 1936 Academy Exhibition.[8][9] Knight also revealed some of the pottery used for the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.[8][9] The fourth known episode, broadcast on 8th May,[12][13] showcased the talents of Lady Kennet, a sculptor, who the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography deemed "the most significant and prolific British women sculptor before Barbara Hepworth".[14] The episode featured her showcasing some of her sculptured busts and the processes of creating the models.[12][13]

Airing on 22nd March, the fifth known episode was a collaboration between the poet Olga Katzin, and the illustrator Pearl Binder.[15][16] Katzin succeeded within the world of journalism, utilising pseudonyms to write periodicals in such newspapers as The Herald, The Manchester Guardian, and Time and Tide.[17] Meanwhile, Binder illustrated various 1930s and classic stories, including the 1817 Jane Austen novel Persuasion.[18][15][16] In the episode, Katzin would provide poetry detailing "life a hundred years hence", with Binder illustrating each verse in front of the television cameras.[15][16]

Series 2

The details of the sixth episode were not detailed in any Radio Times issue, but the show proved popular enough for a second series, which started airing on April 13th.[19][20] Episode 1 of the new series featured Dora Clarke, a sculptor and wood carver who was awarded a scholarship for sculpture at Harvard Commerce and at the Slade School, the first person known to have been awarded such a scholarship at the school.[19][20] She was most known for her work regarding the memorials of Joseph Conrad situation in New York and London, as well as the promotion of African art.[21] This included living in Kenya in 1927 for a year, where her drawings helped her craft wood carvings and bronze tribal figures when she returned to London.[19][20] She discussed this work within the episode.[19][20] Episode 2 was not documented in any Radio Times issue, but the third, broadcast on 10th May, saw Binder discuss and illustrate the origins of the then-latest fashions, modelled by dancer Margaret Leona.[22][23]

Availability

Like all early television transmissions, the episodes of The World of Women were televised live and there were limited viable means of recording television prior to the Second World War, with recording seldom having occurred until videotape was perfected in the late-1950s.[24] Thus, all footage of The World of Women is likely permanently missing. Nevertheless, a photo of MacArthur on the show is publicly accessible,[25] as are Radio Times issues that helped to document the two series.[3][7][9][13][16][20][23]
