Miss Nobody
Miss Nobody episode 1/2 by Ethel Carnie, dramatised by Mary Cooper A musical adaptation, following the lives of two working women in 1911 Lancashire. Author and activist, Ethel Carnie narrates, she wants to teach the women to strive for more in their working lives. She creates Carrie - a shop worker, and her friend Rachel - a mill worker, and over two episodes we journey with them as they both search for something better, in their own ways. By turns, joyful, stark, thought provoking, and inspiring, it is a universal story of working women's emancipation. Carrie takes a trip to the countryside on her one day off, and by chance meets Farmer Robert Gibson, a meeting which will change her life forever. Rachel in Manchester is pursuing her socialist activities and trying to unionise the women in the mill.
