Miss World protest - a podcast by BBC World Service

In 1970, feminists stormed the stage at the Miss World pageant in London.

They were protesting against the objectification of women.

Sally Alexander was one of the young protesters who was arrested for her part in the demonstration. She spoke to Andrew Whitehead in 2014.
