    This final episode reflects upon the legacy of the Married Women’s Association. As well as exploring the significance of reform in which MWA members played a key part, such as the Matrimonial Homes Act 1967, the relevance of their campaigns are considered in the context of women’s equality today.

    This penultimate episode explores how the Married Women’s Association and Edith Summerskill were powerful forces in delaying the enactment of divorce reform in 1969. By blocking the Divorce Reform Act's passage, it was possible for the association to persuade those in power to redefine family law proposals in feminist terms.

    MWA Vice-President Teresa Billington-Greig once said that 'reform movements are like builders'; gradually erecting structures in which we can live better lives, one brick at a time. This sixth episode explores how the MWA had some success in reforming the law when pursuing this step-by-step approach. It also tells the story of Lily Ince, a wife sent to prison indefinitely for hiding property from her husband.
