The Typewriter
Series about Edwardian inventions. The typewriter was used by Edwardian suffragettes and credited with getting women into the workplace, but was it really a great liberator?
Documentary series about objects the Edwardians either invented or advanced.

The typewriter was used by Edwardian suffragettes and credited with getting women into the workplace, but was it actually the great liberator it's seen to be?
