In our final episode, we explore the legacy of the Cotton Famine. Ruth-Anne meets Jenny Harper from the University of Reading to learn about a working-class feminist writer, Ethel Carnie Holdsworth, who carried on the political activism of the Cotton Famine poets into the 1920s. And the literary legacy continues in Lancashire today with autodidact Sid Calderbank.
