Take a Friend to Orchestra (TAFTO) month is an opportunity for the people who care the most about classical music to participate in a proactive way. Throughout the month of April, Adaptistration will feature more than a dozen critics, bloggers, musicians, classical music enthusiasts, and administrators as they write about how average patrons throughout the country can invite friends who don't regularly participate in live music events to a performance in their area.
2005 marked the inaugural TAFTO event and it was a huge success. TAFTO will remain very much the same in 2006 except for one noticeable difference; this year's event will feature a contest in conjunction with Neo Classical designed especially for younger classical music enthusiasts.

"Thinking – the talking of the soul with itself." – Plato
Training Your Mind To Dance With A Goal!
You work toward training your body to be toned, strong, and graceful. You practice choreography until you can do it backwards and with your eyes closed. You train your body every day to level up in the Dancesport world. But what about your brain?
You can train your brain just like any muscle in your body. If you're dedicating your entire life to dancesport, it should always be working toward a specific goal. It can be something simple, like mastering a specific move or a choreography. It can also be something huge – win Blackpool Dance Festival 2019. Become the next US Championships.
No matter what your goal is, here's a list of how to train your brain to reach your goals:
- Write down your overall goal. Look at it every day. Write specific, concrete steps. Write down your goal so you have one focus for everything you do.
- Set yourself a date to complete your goal. This helps avoid procrastination or distraction. If you find something worthwhile to add into your list of to-do's that extends the goal date, then great! Just stick to your plan as it evolves.
- Set higher long-term expectations, and lower short-term expectations. Break up with the idea that you'll turn into your idol tomorrow. A high expectation with a long term goal is, "I'll be the next US Champion!" A low expectation with a short term, reasonable goal would be something like "I'm going to perfect this technique."
- Work on something toward your goal EVERY SINGLE DAY. Small changes in your life grow into larger accomplishments, working similarly to a staircase. Each step up is stacked on the step before it, but you can't get till the top until you've taken every step.

Energetic Pop from Rainbow Reservoir
Oddbox Records just announced this new EP from Rainbow Reservoir, and I'm kind of excited by this new discovery. Deep in the heart of the song is this catchy little vocal piece that comes in the chorus; there's something about the quick delivery that just sticks in my head. Overall the song has this energetic brooding, seemingly waiting for an explosion into your ears…I won't tell you whether or not that comes to fruition or not…find out for yourself by listening to the song! the Coco Sleeps Around EP will be released this July.

My Garden Zone Is
Narrow Selection
Plants for Texas are drought tolerant
Every US state comes with its gardening challenges, and Texas is no different. Thankfully the plants on this page are all able to thrive in Texas's unique growing conditions. And better yet, they're specially adapted to the climate in Texas. These plants are suitable for anyone wanting to grow trees, grasses, ferns, flowers, vines, hedges, moss, shrubs, berries, or wetland plants in Texas. We've also included a selection of native Texas plants.
How to grow plants in Texas
If you're more familiar with growing plants in the colder areas of the US, you might be surprised to learn there are species you can plant every month in Texas. That means you can be thinking about what new plants to choose for your garden while you do your Christmas shopping. And you can give plants as gifts at Thanksgiving.
Plants for Texas are very hardy plants
Learning how to grow plants in Texas is mostly just choosing the right species and varieties, and that's why we've put together this page.
The coldest USDA hardiness zone represented in Texas is 6b. However, most of Texas is zone 7a to 9a. That means you can grow berries that require winter chilling as well as plants that don't like it when the weather is too cold.
Berries for Texas will need watered pretty frequently
The most important thing to remember when growing plants in Texas is that you'll have less rain than the US average. That means you may need to water more frequently than in other states. Mulching your plants will also be especially important as it will help reduce evaporation from the soil.
Of course, Texas is well known for its sweltering heat during summer. All the plants in this section will cope well with this heat, and you can give them a helping hand by planting trees and large shrubs to provide some shade for the smaller plants in your garden.
Pro tip:
Choose a selection of plants from each garden level to add interest to your garden and ensure all the plants work together to create a beautiful little ecosystem. That means selecting low-growing varieties, small and large shrubs, and even a tree or two if your garden is large enough.

RIPON — Andres Merlos starts and ends his days by playing the clarinet.
It's not uncommon for the 17-year-old Ripon High School senior to dedicate so much time to his instrument. But his level of focus has heightened these days.
He's preparing for the biggest performance of his life, he said.
In less than two weeks, Merlos and the other members of the Ripon High School band will be the sole band from California to perform in Washington, D.C., during a Veterans Day ceremony organized by the nonprofit organization Historic Programs. Bands, choirs and Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets from across the U.S. will perform during a tribute to veterans.
"It almost seems like a dream," Merlos said.

Geoffory Felver, Ripon High's music and band director, said after the Almond Blossom Parade in February the band was invited to play for Veterans Day. An unknown person saw the band perform and nominated it for the event. Felver isn't sure who it was since the nominations can be made by a member of Congress, a senator or a retired military member, but he speculates it was a veteran.
"We're the only band from California," Felver said. "So that was quite the honor to have them select us: the little town of Ripon."
The 35-member band will perform two half-hour sets: one at the Korean War Veterans Memorial near the National Mall and the other at the United States Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.
Felver said his students will perform alongside the United States Marine Band, which will be a wonderful experience in itself.
"To get to play with professionals is going to open up a whole new world for them," he said.
For now, however, students are still "a little bewildered," Felver said.
"I don't think it's truly set in for them yet," he said. "I'm sure once we get there to Washington, D.C., … that's when it will set in for them."
Merlos described being in shock after learning of the nomination.
After the announcement, which came during a concert, Merlos turned to his brother, Pablo, who's also in the band: "Hey, did you hear what he said? We're going to Washington, D.C." It took some time after that night to register with him that the band is traveling across the country to play in the nation's capital.
The band will be in Washington from Nov. 9-12. To make the trip possible, the band had to raise the more than $30,000 needed to fund the excursion. It reached the goal last month.
This is going to be an incredible experience, said 16-year-old Justin Bright. It's not just about the band but about showing that a small town like Ripon can have a band with great direction and with the capability to perform in places where bands with more experience play.
"Just thinking about it is meaningful," said Bright, who plays the trumpet. "It's gratifying knowing that we were the ones both recommended and chosen."
Felver said he wants his students to take away from this experience how important it was that veterans fought for their rights and also that it gives them a "bigger scale of things outside of Ripon."
"It seems like we won a huge raffle, but we were nominated. It wasn't just luck," Merlos said. "In a way, we earned it."

For Love of Anna is a glowingly reviewed and brilliantly written thumping good read of love, tragedy and corruption in high places, ideal for snowy nights by a log fire. When university student Guido van Thool accidentally bumps into the beautiful ballerina Anna Zweig in Loti's café, it sets them off on a whirlwind romance of ballet concerts, anti-globalisation marches and love trysts in bluebell woods. Even when Guido is called away for military service, time can't test their faithfulness, as they keep their passion warm with love letters. Paralleling their lives, however, is that of Judge Jeremiah Delahyde, a profligate positioned in power by his crony, the government minister Bartholomew Smythe. These parallel lives collide on New Year's Eve when the drunken judge knocks Anna down in his car with fatal consequences. Guido swears revenge. But how does one retaliate against a corrupt and powerful, politically-appointed high court judge?
In paperback and Kindle https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/781360 http://www.amazon.com/Love-Anna-James-Lawless/dp/1849237662/ref=la_B001JOXD96_1_2_twi_pap_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1450093543&sr=1-2
or other epub devices at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/781360
'For Love of Anna by James Lawless is a heartbreaking love story that revolves around the main protagonist Guido van Thool, who is a university student, and the beautiful ballerina Anna Zweig. It is a passionate and moving story, too good to last. The love story is just one thread of the story. What is truly striking about the novel is the author's use of Anna as an acronym for Anarchists of the New Age. Add the corrupt judge, Jeremiah Delahyde, to the eclectic mix of characters and you have a story that explores not only the love story between Guido and Anna, but it is also a hard-hitting story of ideology and political corruption and anarchism.' Riverview Notes
'5.0 out of 5 stars For Love of Anna BY James Lawless is one of the finest 5 STAR pieces of writing I have read in recent years.'

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Simone Biles and her Final Five teammates' dominance in the Rio Olympics paved the way for an all-out blitz of a media tour for the ages.
Part of that feverish activity has already seen Aly Raisman agreeing to date an Oakland Raiders tight end and The Final Five taking a picture with Usher on the set of the TODAY Show.
Well, on Tuesday night, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon invited The Final Five as its special guests to participate in a new sport — Hungry Hungry Humans, a spinoff of the classic kids' board game Hungry Hungry Hippos.
That being said, hilarity ensued as Fallon pushed Biles's 4-foot-9 frame as she fervently tried to scoop up as many points as possible before Simone traded places with the late-night talk show host and he tried doing the same.
Take a look.
That's bugged out!
In the end, though, none of the teams — including Black Thought and Donald Glover — could outdo the tandem of Laurie Hernandez and Aly Raisman.
If Hungry Hungry Humans is just the beginning of their media jaunt, just imagine what The Final Five will be doing next.

When Canadian anarchist group Adbusters took to Zuccotti Park on September 17. 2011, they started off as a simple protest for the usual things: economic inequality, greed, "the man" keeping you down; but they couldn't have known that what they started would transform into the massive movement that became known as #OccupyWallStreet. Almost overnight, the movement became viral over social media.
Virality isn't a new concept, but as communication technology improves, it can now happen at lightening speed. What used to be reserved to chain mail and cat videos is now being used to stunning effect by businesses, political movements, and more.
The reason why #OccupyWallStreet was so successful is that it leveraged the passion of a group. It harnessed record levels of unemployment and gave a unified channel for the disenfranchised. A lot of these people weren't working, they were ready to move, to become a movement. Groups are capable of so much more than the sum of their parts.
To try to put a number on how many people were involved in #OccupyWallStreet would be foolish. There were so many groups scattered across the country and there really wasn't anyone keeping track of the numbers. However, their change and impact was clear, #OccupyWallStreet dominated most of the headlines for 2011-2012.
Anonymous, the U.S. Day of Rage, New Yorkers Against Budget Cuts, and many other groups tied themselves together to promote #OccupyWallStreet. The continued efforts of Anonymous particularly, is what gave the movement so much longevitity. What happened here was a cause became championed by already existing groups, this created an intensely strong network to grow their supporters, but it also lost control of the original message
This was only part of the reason the movement worked, another huge reason why #OccupyWallStreet did so well was because the movement was ready to adopt new technologies in ways that their creators hadn't imagined. Take for example, the Shouty App. An app that allows people in an area to stream a live announcement from their smartphone's speakers to create a unified network of audio that has the effect of a professionally setup broadcast or public speaking engagement. The #OccupyWallStreet movement used this app to loudly and efficitely spread their message. A willingness to adopt new technologies creates a strong lifeblood for a group and as our culture becomes incresasingly technological, this will become even stronger.
The internet is not a tool in your tool shed, it is a guard dog outside your front door. It is there to help you as long as you keep it fed. However, ultimately that dog is going to do what it wants to do. Having traveled the country during those times, I saw the many different versions of #OccupyWallStreet that covered every major city square in the United States. I saw completely different messages ranging from Oil rights in West Texas to heated blankets for the homeless in Seattle. However, they all claimed to be part of the #OccupyWallStreet movement and continued their support. This is key for anything to go viral. You need to be okay with losing control of your message. Guide the dog, don't try to keep it on a leash.
Find out what the core of your message is, what is the most important thing that you want the world to know about from you. Then take that core message and use it to guide your viral movement. This is the future of viral marketing. Look at Mr. Splashy Pants, he deserves his own blog, but the summation is that a group was willing to lose control of their message, keep their core, and get results bigger than they had dared hope.
You can also do find ways to Virally market your message by answering these 5 simple questions:

All AX pieces meet ANSI-BIFMA industry commercial standards, Ameriwood noted, pointing out that the product line was partially previewed at Neocon, Epic and High Point. The AX1, AX2, AX3 and AX4 collections will be featured at the Dorel showroom at the Fall High Point Market with AX1 available for distribution beginning in late October. The other collections will reach the market soon after.
"The 2017 Neocon Show proved our AX series is headed in the right direction offering combinations that can fit any size office," said Bill Noble, vp/sales and marketing, Ameriwood. "Stepping away from traditional cubicles, AX1 allows offices to provide work spaces for open floor plans, executive offices and even standing conversational tables."

Extract from Overview1
… (la) Experience is all-or-none.
… (2a) Experience is completely private to a single subject.
… (3a) Experience is absolutely indivisible.
Deriving appeal partly from their connection with these doctrines are three others, concerning the subjects that experience:
… (1b) A subject is all-or-none.
… (2b) A subject is completely separate.
… (3b) A subject is absolutely indivisible.
By confronting them with numerous thought-experiments2, in chapter 6 the appeal of these doctrines is dispelled: Insofar as there is any truth in the displayed sentences, that is owing to conventions of language, or to certain unproblematically natural facts, or to a combination of the two. Briefly, the most positive results of the encounter are these: We subjects ourselves are wholly objective entities, mainly or wholly physical, and our experiences are wholly objective processes, mainly or wholly physical. Moreover, in an important sense, we are conventionally demarcated entities, and our experiences are conventionally demarcated processes.

What's your make and model, I used to use Firefox as my main browser. But lately I have switched to Chrome and I like the browser, its sleek and fast and light.
Never satisfied with its performance a new old kid is doing the rounds in disguise none other than Edge Dev, yes, I got my hands-on Microsoft's new browser that they are honing. Yes, they announced that they where ditching the present Edge browser and using/building a new browser.
You can download this early Alpha/Beta inside developer edition from https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/ So is it any different to the rest, err I think not it just another browser as far as I can see, it even followed the chrome style on your marks get set downloading option so its small in size as well.
You can see that right from the get-go Microsoft want to tie you into the Microsoft culture, that must be the third or forth time I have loaded the browser and it still begs to be set as the default browser each time. Will I be adopting this new technological wizardry I think not I am happy to dabble and have it on my system, but I won't be adopting it as my main browser just yet.
Interestingly you can't get rid of the begging to "import favourites now" bar, well at least as I have briefly looked through the favourites options in settings and cant see anything obvious. So, it along with the status bar down the bottom are just taking up screen space.
The hamburger menu brings up a choice off layout options, you have a few extra settings to select if you select custom. But one thing I seriously dislike is that you have to sign in to the browser and once signed in you can't sign out (we at least not at this stage) it does have an incognito function which allows you to browse the web anonymously. If you go into manage your profile you can remove it from the browser, so I suppose that it is a sign out option. In fact, I think it would be possible to have multiple profiles, but they do want you signed in so that all your data is sync'd up an active.
We will keep an eye on how this browser develops and bring you further developments as and when they come.

A civilian who was found living in a barracks of the 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was released without charges Friday, base authorities said.
"He has been released" but the case was still under investigation by Fort Bragg law enforcement, said Christina Douglas, Fort Bragg's chief of media relations.
Douglas said the man's identity could not be disclosed, and she could not comment on how he gained access to the base, how long he had been living in the barracks, or what his purpose may have been in residing there. The Fayetteville Observer reported that he may have posed as a soldier.
Capt. Douglas Ray, a spokesman for the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), also declined comment on the individual and his living arrangements, other than to say that the case was under investigation.
In a previous statement, Ray said that the 3rd SFG "discovered a civilian living in a barracks building occupied by unit soldiers" on Wednesday. "The Fort Bragg Provost Marshal was immediately contacted and the individual was detained by the military police. The situation is under investigation."

This article analyzes the connections between gender, labor, and mobility by tracing the transnational careers of two Australian women who began working at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the 1930s and 1940s: Peggie Broadhead and Muriel Howlett. Both participated in the production of media content aimed at British diasporic audiences while at the same time negotiating their own Australian national identity and sense of belonging, within an imperial framework. A close study of institutional and private archives reveals that these professional responsibilities and tensions resulted in the formation of a new transnational identity of "Dominions broadcaster." This article reveals the agency and adaptability of Australian women working in international broadcasting, and argues that through their labor and mobility they inscribed and made real the idea of imperial and Commonwealth networks.
During the 1930s and 1940s, numerous Australians traveled to London in the hope of gaining employment at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The large cohort of Australians working there in 1942 prompted the Melbourne Argus to declare, "There is an Australian colony in the BBC today." According to the Argus, most of them were "young men of adventurous spirit—or, at least, fellows with a touch of the wanderlust that takes men far from home."1 Less visible in contemporary news stories—but equally important to the running of the BBC—were several Australian women already building careers at the corporation. The BBC's reliance on the knowledge and experience of personnel from around the British Empire and Commonwealth made it a site of international labor as well as international broadcasting.2 This article analyzes connections between gender, labor, and mobility by tracing the transnational careers of two Australian women who began working at the BBC in the 1930s and 1940s, Peggie Broadhead and Muriel Howlett. In response to Tanu Priya Uteng and Tim Cresswell's call for research that explores how gender and spatial mobility "intersect to create shifting subjectivity," this article broadens historical understandings of the fluidity of imperial, national, and professional identities.3 It also contributes to scholarship on women's labor in international broadcasting, particularly the role of Dominions women.
The self-governing Dominions of the British Commonwealth, which included Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as predominantly white settler societies, occupied a privileged position in the imperial hierarchy and shared a common sense of Britishness. Media connections helped bind together the British world, creating and sustaining a sense of belonging. Like other staff, Broadhead and Howlett actively participated in the BBC's central task of defining, reflecting, and projecting collective identity, particularly the idea of Britishness. At the same time, they negotiated their own sense of belonging and national identity within an imperial framework. By drawing on their Dominions knowledge and experience, and strategically engaging with transnational networks, they also advanced their broadcasting careers. Their contributions to British broadcasting were enriched by their travel and broadcasting experience throughout the British Empire, particularly in Australia and British Malaya. As the BBC's reporter on the first flying-boat service from England to Australia, Howlett embodied modernity, exemplified by air travel and broadcasting.4 In subsequent years, as a radio producer in External Services, Howlett supported the BBC's objective of ensuring that the "main ingredients" of all External Services programs included "an exposition of British policy and thought on current affairs" and "the projection of British life."5 At the same time, she asserted that her life experience outside the metropole, and her deep attachment to Australia, allowed her to make a specific contribution to empire broadcasting as a Dominions member of the corporation. Broadhead's value to empire broadcasting was also augmented by her varied experience at the BBC, the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC), and the Malayan Broadcasting Corporation. Like other Australasian personnel at the BBC, Broadhead was often called upon to produce stories about life throughout the Commonwealth, from a British point of view. A close study of institutional and private archives reveals that these professional responsibilities and tensions resulted in the formation of a new transnational identity of "Dominions broadcaster." This identity was intimately connected to Broadhead and Howlett's work at the BBC—the production of media content aimed at audiences across the empire and Commonwealth.
Transnational approaches to media history are burgeoning internationally.6 Research on the Australian media's international links, however, has mainly focused on the flow of media content and ideas, rather than people.7 Scholarly explorations of the history of Australian women's work in the international media include Patricia Clarke's research on journalist and broadcaster Janet Mitchell, Diane Kirkby's work on women journalists in progressive political movements in Australia and the United States, and, most pertinently, Kylie Andrews's consideration of the careers of postwar ABC producers Joyce Belfrage, Kay Kinane, and Therese Denny, who all benefited from periods of work or training at the BBC.8 Transnational history's central concern with flows, movements, and circulation is well suited to an examination of gender and labor in broadcasting. The broadcasting industry is not only inherently transnational, its structure and function have helped shape lives that resist national frames.9 Scholarly examinations of the connections between media flows and professional mobility are few. Drawing on the "entangled media histories" approach, Kristin Skoog and Alexander Badenoch applied a "decentered" framework in their consideration of the role of women broadcasters within the history of international feminisms, which highlighted forms of social networking associated with women's organizations.10 This article also builds on Andrews's examination of the professional mobility of postwar women at the ABC and Simon Potter's research on Dominions broadcasters at the BBC to discuss the multiple trajectories taken by Australian women in broadcasting and to analyze the connections between gender, national identity, and program content.11
Analysis of careers and networks that span national borders also requires recognition of the ways these connections are motivated by and are reflected in personal experience.12 As Kate Murphy argues in her book on women in the early BBC, consideration of the life experiences of women workers can enrich our understanding of women's place within the institution.13 Michele Hilmes asserts that studying individuals who became "cultural translators" as they moved between national settings and media industries "can unlock the way that transnationality, and also transmediality, function at ground level."14 This will be illustrated in this article by the experiences of Peggie Broadhead, whose career crossed broadcasting mediums as well as national borders. The self-directed mobility of women, particularly in pursuit of new employment or educational opportunities, rather than for migration or short-term tourism, has only recently become the subject of scholarly analysis.15 Adding to this, the movements and motivations of non-elite women have often remained indistinct in the historical record because of the inherent challenges involved in "tracing the steps of the less visible."16 This article's focus was delineated by the collection practices of four archives with divergent origins: the Broadhead/Robertson family's personal archive in the UK; the Australian government's repository for official records, the National Archives of Australia, which holds the records of the ABC; the BBC's Written Archives Centre in Reading, England, which has retained Muriel Howlett's staff file (but not the files of all women employees); and the National Library of Australia, which acquired Howlett's personal papers after her death.17 Just as Howlett's and Broadhead's careers stretched across the globe, so do their archives. The existence of these collections, especially the inclusion of private correspondence, has allowed me to bring into focus the voices and experiences of two Dominions women who traversed public broadcasting organizations across the British world in the 1930s and 1940s.
Mobility was of central importance to the modernizing world, accelerated by new communication and transport technologies and by modern ideas of self-advancement.18 For many Australian women in the first half of the twentieth century, the decision to travel to the metropole was intimately connected with self-development as well as the possibilities of success and financial reward.19 The BBC's unrivaled opportunities for training and career progression motivated several Australians working in radio to seek employment in London, particularly those working for the ABC, which enjoyed a close relationship with its antecedent, the BBC.20 For example, in 1948 Kathleen Young, a secretary in the Youth Education Department at the ABC in Sydney, who at times worked as "programme arranger, script writer and editor, and occasionally as a producer," traveled to England with a work friend. After a year abroad she requested additional leave from the ABC to attend the BBC's staff training school, acknowledging "that the A.B.C. has been rather overwhelmed with these requests in the last couple of years."21 Although management granted Young three months' extension to allow her to attend the training school, she decided to resign her ABC position in order to stay on in London indefinitely.
After a period of work or training at the BBC, most women broadcasters returned to Australia, where their international experience often translated to better career prospects.22 Some women, including the two in this study, had long-term careers at the BBC. Women working in the education and children's departments of the ABC were particularly mobile between Commonwealth public broadcasters; several benefited from bursaries under the Imperial Relations Trust, established in 1937 from private donations. After World War II the scheme was used to fund travel by public service broadcasting officers from Commonwealth countries with the aim of "strengthen[ing] the bonds of the Commonwealth."23 Ida Osbourne, supervisor of the ABC children's session, attended in 1947, as did Kay Kinane, the federal script editor (education), in 1949.24
Peggie Broadhead was a another ABC employee who, as we will see, was able to exploit personal and institutional connections for professional advancement. She was working in the School Broadcasts section of the ABC when she took leave in 1939 to travel to London with the intention of enrolling in a BBC training course. "'I seem to know practically half the people in the BBC but none of them are very good at string-pulling," Broadhead wrote to her family upon her arrival.25 Leveraging a personal connection with an influential staff member helped many aspiring broadcasters gain a foothold at the BBC. This tactic was possibly even more important for those coming from overseas and for women, who usually could not rely on the old boy network that, Kate Murphy argues, was "a key element of inequality in recruitment" at the BBC.26 Kinane's Imperial Relations Trust–sponsored visit, for example, was facilitated by Mary Somerville, the BBC's head of Schools Broadcasting, who had been impressed with Kinane during her 1947 visit to the ABC to assess educational broadcasting in Australia.27 Although Broadhead initially claimed not to know anyone at the corporation who could assist her, she too benefited from Somerville's generosity. In February 1940 she told her family that Somerville had "wangled me into the Schools Department at a very decent salary."28 Broadhead was put in charge of science broadcasts and given a secretary—a position of responsibility she would not have achieved had she stayed at the ABC.
Broadhead and Howlett joined the BBC at a time when the employment of broadcasters from around the British Empire and Commonwealth was becoming common practice. During the 1930s, Potter notes, staff mobility between the Dominions and Britain facilitated understanding of the nature of the empire, and the listening tastes and preferences of the BBC's vast potential audience.29 From 1932, with the launching of its shortwave Empire Service, the BBC began recruiting broadcasters from around the British Empire and Commonwealth in order to ensure the appeal of its programs to the target audience.30 This became standard policy during World War II, leading to what Simon Potter has aptly called "the colonisation of the BBC" and the creation of a dynamic cultural contact zone, albeit one that privileged the "white dominions" of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.31 On her arrival in London in 1947, ABC broadcaster Ida Osbourne discovered "a real colony of ABC folk."32 During World War II, the Pacific Service alone employed at least four Australian women as talks producers: Theaden Hancock, Noni Wright, Evelyn Davy, and Ann Shead. The nationalities of numerous other women named in the BBC staff lists are yet to be determined. Empire Service programs were initially produced by mainly male staff, and were shaped to appeal to its imaginary listeners, defined as single, male members of the British diaspora.33 War necessitated the opening of more positions to women, including in the previously all-male Engineering Division, considerably shifting the gender balance of the BBC.
The ascent of Muriel Howlett at the BBC illustrates just how progressive a workplace it was for women in the interwar period. As Kate Murphy argues, this was due to the BBC's "newness, its pioneering spirit and its modernity," combined with increasing educational and employment opportunities for middle-class women after World War I.34 It also provided opportunities for women from outside Britain to advance their broadcasting careers in new directions. In Australian commercial and public service broadcasting in the 1930s and 1940s, professional women broadcasters were largely confined to women's and children's programs as well as to secretarial and other support roles. This did not mean that Australian women broadcasters were prevented from engaging in broader national and international issues beyond "the domestic," but that this engagement still mainly occurred under the umbrella of women's programs.35 At the BBC, however, women were able to carve out areas of expertise and attain senior salaried positions in talks, features, science, and other areas, partly due to the BBC's employment practices, which enabled more equality.36
Unlike most other women who rose to senior positions at the BBC in the 1930s and 1940s, Howlett's family circumstances were modest and she was not university educated.37 Although Australians were aware of their difference, which was exacerbated by accent, to some extent they were able to sit outside the social class distinctions that remained important at the BBC until at least the 1960s.38 After six years as a secretary and stenographer at the Shell Company in Sydney, Howlett resigned in 1935, aged twenty-eight, for a reason that was typical for Australian women seeking educational and career advancement: to visit the Continent. She joined the BBC that same year, initially as a temporary stenographer in the General Office. Writing in thanks for an offer of further temporary employment in the News Department, Howlett revealed her need to prove herself as a colonial in Britain: "As an Australian I feel very happy to be here and, if I am permitted a burst of loyalty, as an Australian I want to justify myself in an English office."39
In 1938 she was working as a newsroom secretary (although she had "been putting speakers on the air for months") when she was selected as the BBC representative on the first direct mail and passenger service from Southampton to Sydney, despite having almost no broadcast experience (fig. 1).40 A passenger service between Britain and Australia had operated since 1935, but the journey previously had taken twelve days, via a train part of the way across Europe and five different aircraft operated by three airlines.41 Howlett's journey on the Cordelia was to be the first under the new Empire Air Mail Scheme, an endeavor jointly operated by Australia and Britain that had the potential to transform aviation in the British Empire by using a single aircraft along the whole route, and reducing the flying time to seven days.42 The service offered the prospect of strengthening empire unity by extending modern air transport and improved communications to British outposts.43
In the eyes of BBC management, Howlett's gender and her "Australianness" made for an "even better story than sending one of her men colleagues from the News Talk section."44 Far from being an impediment, her superiors believed that her lack of flying experience would only increase the "details and vividness" of her descriptions.45 Howlett broadcast several commentaries during the journey, destined for English-speaking listeners around the British world. Although women were not usually welcome in this "gentlemen's club in the clouds," as Peter Ewer terms it, there were two female passengers on the journey, and one other female media representative, Marjorie Shuler from the Christian Science Monitor.46 Howlett herself represented the stylish, independent modern woman traveler, despite the fact that she was traveling from the metropole to the periphery—the reverse of her journey three years earlier. The British and Australian press showed enormous interest in the inaugural flight and in Howlett's role, and profiles remarked on Howlett's background, work, and previous travel experience.47 Other articles overlooked Howlett's professional role and achievements to focus on more trivial, gendered matters faced by the modern female traveler. Since she would be "flying from summer to winter in nine days," insisted London's Daily Herald, Howlett "finds her main problem a question of clothes."48
Most passengers in the early years of long-haul flights were elite white businessmen; Howlett's travel journal, then, is a rare first-person account.49 In its opening pages Howlett remarked on the aircraft's ability to conquer distance—a marker of modernity.50 Her first recorded emotions were of liberation, and wonder at the miracle of air travel: "Said farewell into microphone. Took off on tick of 5.45. Glorious feeling. Sun through clouds. Houses like dolls houses, roads like string. No feeling at all going up! Heavenly sight."51 Her preoccupation with the bodily sensations associated with flight—of rising and falling, and of what Chandra Bhimull calls "aboveness"—was typical of early air travelers.52
The Cordelia's route—from Southampton to Sydney via Athens, Basra (Iraq), Karachi, Calcutta, Bangkok, Singapore, and Darwin (Australia)—emphasized the hegemony of imperial networks. Howlett recorded her impressions at various ports of call, often from the vantage point of a luxury hotel, which emphasized her privileged position and her racial difference from the colonized peoples, who were either invisible in her account or glimpsed only fleetingly, and usually from a distance. In Bangkok, for example, she bought souvenirs and was driven around the city for sightseeing, then "Stayed at Oriental Hotel. Saw hibiscus, frangipani, ate mangosteens and danced at night."53 Absent from this description are the nonwhite drivers, hotel service workers, and souvenir sellers. In her photograph album of the journey, a picture of the Shatt Al Arab Hotel, Basra (which catered especially to air travelers) is captioned "An oasis of civilization."54 In Indonesia, Howlett noted: "Ashore during refueling. Only time to see docks of Tandjong Perok where native labourers busy gambling or sleeping."55 These observations show how she positioned herself as a superior white woman in imperial hierarchies of race and power, and demonstrate the cultural privilege attached to travel.56
In Calcutta, despite being "half dead" from lack of sleep and facing technical conditions that were described by J. C. S. Macgregor, director of the Empire Service, as "not kind," Howlett's talk was broadcast on All-India Radio.57 In Singapore, the fifth stop, Howlett broadcast from the British Malaya Broadcasting Corporation's station ZHL, which had only just begun transmitting via shortwave. Relaying a talk from Singapore to Britain was costly and technically complex, and the system had been used only on one previous occasion, for the opening of the Singapore Naval Base.58 Howlett's BBC broadcast was regarded as so important that when it looked like the Cordelia might not land in time for it, a message was sent to the pilot asking him to speed up. Howlett arrived at the studio via "probably the most hair-raising drive of her life," just in time to make short voice tests before commencing her broadcast.59 In Sydney Howlett met with staff at the ABC, where she made an impression on George Ivan Smith, then a young talks editor, who later recalled "listening to a girl from the BBC who was Australian who had just flown out." Having "grown up in isolation," this pivotal moment was Smith's first exposure to the BBC's role as a fulcrum of empire.60 The following year Smith was seconded to the BBC, where he became director of the Pacific Service section of the BBC Overseas Service. Smith subsequently played a crucial role in the recruitment of men and women broadcasters from around the British Empire and Commonwealth.
In a broadcast after landing in Sydney, Howlett described her joy at returning to her Australian family. Employing Australian slang, she characterized her journey of thirteen thousand miles as "bonzer" (splendid). Her talk was sent via beam wireless (shortwave, low-power transmission) to Britain, where it was recorded and used on the ten o'clock news in the Home Service. She told her British listeners that to Australians, "distance means little or nothing."61 Howlett appears to be consciously enacting Australianness, possibly because her nationality was one reason for her selection for the Cordelia mission. Newspaper profiles also emphasized those traits seen as quintessentially Australian—love of travel, enjoyment of sport and other outdoor pursuits, and national pride.62 Howlett "is a typical young and healthy Australian," said one article, "and even in her flat in London she does not allow either herself or anyone else to forget the country of her birth, for she has called it Koala Flat, Kangaroo House."63
In her research on four Australian women who worked at the ABC, Kylie Andrews argues that overseas travel allowed them to "recalibrate their identities."64 In England, white female Australians were given the chance to "bolster their own claims to insiderness in the Empire," writes Angela Woollacott, yet they were sometimes regarded as "colonials," meaning inferior or vulgar members of the empire.65 Women responded differently to the slippages between their identities and were sometimes forced to confront their "colonialness" that had previously been hidden by their "simultaneous but unreflecting identifications" as both Australian and British.66 Some nurtured their Australian cultural and national identity, while others wished to shed it entirely.67 Several historians have considered the formation, performance, and transformation of Australian and British national identity in global settings.68 Richard White argues that Australian national identity is "self-consciously and actively imagined" through travel, and that performance of national identity often involves "playing up to the expectations of outsiders, particularly the English outsider."69 Despite Howlett's Australian national identity being performed for the benefit of a British audience, however, it was no less keenly felt, and she continued to express a profound connection to her homeland, as we shall see.
The journey was a transformative experience that elevated Howlett's status from newsroom secretary to expert on modern air travel. Once she had fulfilled her BBC commitments in Australia she wrote an article for the Australian Women's Weekly, a prominent, large-circulation national women's magazine. In it Howlett satisfied the public's curiosity about the practicalities of going airborne, "how all the humdrum details of ordinary living go on at 10,000 feet up and 150 miles an hour," although she acknowledged that she "found nothing humdrum; everything was tinged with a rosy glow."70 Rather than focusing on her status as a first-time air traveler, the story cast her as an expert: she advises future passengers on meals, luggage, clothing, and how to pass their time in the air. She is identified as neither Australian nor British; instead, she is the embodiment of a transnational citizen of the modern British world.
Back at the BBC, Howlett resumed her job as a clerk secretary, but the following year was promoted to subeditor in News Talks. She was sometimes called upon to speak on-air in the Overseas Service, particularly when her Australian background proved advantageous. For example, in July 1940 she interviewed an Australian nurse with the Australian Imperial Force in England, and in October 1941 she gave advice to Australians on sending parcels to prisoners of war.71 She also suggested Australian news stories for the Pacific edition of Radio Newsreel (fig. 2).72 By 1945 Howlett had ten years of experience in news in both the Home and Overseas Services in a range of roles, including secretary, observer, sequence writer and producer, news subeditor, talks assistant, and editorial assistant. That year she applied for a position as Australian representative of the BBC, based in Sydney. Even though applications were invited only from "men of British nationality," Howlett insisted that her experience as a resident of both Britain and Australia warranted serious consideration. In a letter to editor of overseas news talks Peter Pooley, Howlett expressed her deep attachment to Australia as well as her professional identity as a "Dominion member" of the BBC:
As you know, I am anxious for various reasons to return home when I can—partly because I am normally and naturally homesick, partly because (as an only child) I must return to discuss business and family matters with my now ageing parents, but also because I want badly to re-discover my own country. It is ten and a half years since I left Sydney—disregarding the rushed fortnight I had there in 1938—and I have felt increasingly lately that I need to bring myself up to date with Australia in order to be a really useful, well-informed Dominion member of the Corporation.73
As expressed here, Howlett's Australian national identity was interdependent with her imperial (British) identity.74 She believed that her bond with Australia made her a more effective empire broadcaster, and as such, should be sustained. It was an attitude fortified by BBC policy, which specified that the "main function of Empire broadcasting was to project what was happening in Great Britain and also to help different parts of the Empire to understand each other's problems and way of life."75 Staff in the Empire Talks Department were encouraged to think of themselves as primarily in the service of empire, but also to draw upon their intimate knowledge of their country of birth. Staff engaged in arranging talks for Empire Talks were directed to regard themselves as "in the first place, a member of the Empire Talks Department," and "secondarily, as having been co-opted to work … on those talks intended for the part of the world of which he has local and specialized knowledge."76 Howlett's dual loyalty was not without conflict, however. She told Pooley "that these have been ten extremely happy and interesting years and that if I did go home, I should go with great pleasure and intense regret."77 Howlett's insistence on referring to Australia as "home" runs counter to the prevailing belief in a shared British heritage that had Britain at its heart.78 It also reveals Howlett's internal conflict over whether her primary loyalty lay with her natal home or her adopted one.
Following this unsuccessful application, Howlett worked in External Services as a talks and news producer and occasional reporter, and she became the organizer of the radio newsmagazine Radio Newsreel in 1947. By 1955 she was considered the most senior producer in Overseas Talks and Features. In 1958 she was responsible for the daily news program This Day and Age. A report recommending her for a special award praised her ability to "keep abreast of current affairs in the widest sense, be alert to possible new developments particularly in the political field, study the movements and abilities of foreign correspondents and journalists and exercise considerable editorial powers."79 Howlett maintained throughout her career her commitments to transnational broadcasting, cultivating connections between listeners across the world and leveraging the expertise of international broadcasters. A letter congratulating her on reaching twenty-five years of service spelled out the value of her Dominions background, commenting that her "own link with the Commonwealth" had enriched her considerable contribution to programs for listeners overseas.80
By the time of her retirement in 1967 it was the BBC, rather than Australia, that gave Howlett her greatest "sense of belonging," as she wrote to the director general, Sir Hugh Greene:
The BBC has been by far my most permanent "home" in this country—a safe base in troubled times, a home housing an ever-growing and extremely pleasant family, and a place in which work, even under pressure, was almost invariably a pleasure.81
Peggie Broadhead started at the ABC in 1937, aged twenty-four, initially as an assistant in Talks and School Broadcasts, where her university arts degree was an asset.82 She later took over the School Broadcasts section, acting directly under the controller of Talks and School Broadcasts, although her personnel file notes that she worked in this position only "until a male officer was appointed to the staff," when she reverted to programming and secretarial work.83
In March 1939 Broadhead took a nine-month leave of absence to travel to the UK, carrying a letter from the ABC's general manager, Charles Moses, recommending her for temporary work at the BBC. The BBC's Empire Service director, J. C. S. Macgregor, was impressed, and commented to Moses that "as she has done more responsible work, it would be a pity to tie her down to a typewriter and a short-hand notebook."84 Macgregor suggested that Broadhead attend the BBC training school and "spend some time with producers and others in our Talks and Schools Departments. I think the general picture of British Broadcasting which she will get from the first part of the training course should be of value to her, and she herself seems to like the idea."85 This exchange suggests that the BBC was more willing than the ABC to give capable women challenging work beyond secretarial and typing positions.
When the training course was cancelled due to the war, both Macgregor (who was now liaison officer for the BBC in the Ministry of Information) and the BBC's former director of Talks, Hilda Matheson (now director of the government-funded Joint Broadcasting Committee), offered to find Broadhead work.86 She eventually spent about six months working in the BBC's Schools Broadcasting department as a program deviser, where she assisted with special home-listening broadcasts for child evacuees. Here, her colleagues insisted in drawing attention to her Australianness, and took delight in using words such as "dinkum" (genuine) "too right" (agreed!), and "bonzer."87 Her BBC colleagues were "all very disappointed that my accent isn't very Australian," she told her family, but sounding too Australian, conversely, could also provoke disdain. Listening to Australian journalist and broadcaster Colin Wills speaking about outback newspapers on a BBC schools program, Broadhead thought him "jolly good—although my secretary said 'Why get a man with a voice like that' in tones of scorn."88 Anxiety over Australians' on-air voices was common in the 1930s and 1940s, with women subjected to more frequent criticism over the suitability of their voices for broadcast. Catherine Fisher notes that most professional broadcasters used a cultivated or "received" Australian accent, the type that most closely resembled the British received pronunciation typically used by BBC announcers.89 In his history of the ABC, Ken Inglis writes that Australian listeners in the 1930s preferred male voices, with "English or Anglo-Australian" accents.90 Australians who sounded British were more likely to find success at the BBC. One example is Mary Hill, who began working at the BBC in 1945, and whose audible Britishness is evidenced by her selection as one of the BBC's television commentators for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953.91
In her letters home Broadhead remarked often on the BBC's superior budgets, staffing, and resources in comparison with the ABC: "It will be amusing working in the A.B.C. after living in state here—with typists rushing to do all the dirty work—and one's own private secretary."92 Mary Somerville, the head of Schools Broadcasting, viewed Broadhead as a conduit—a means to disseminate superior British ideas about educational broadcasting in Australia. Broadhead told her family, "Miss Somerville, the grand old woman of S.B. is very keen on the idea of the dominions learning from the BBC and thinks I am heaven sent." There is no suggestion that either Somerville or Macgregor considered drawing on Broadhead's prior broadcasting experience in Australia. As Potter notes, the corporation was far more interested in educating visitors about its policies and programming than in learning from the experiences of Dominions broadcasters.93 Ironically, Somerville was so impressed by the ABC children's program Kindergarten of the Air during her 1947 trip to Australia that she later adapted it for the BBC as Listen with Mother—but that was a rare example of content flowing from the periphery to the center.94
Experience working at an overseas public broadcaster, in any capacity it seems, usually resulted in improved career prospects back at the ABC.95 Broadhead returned to Australia in September 1940, via North America, including ten days in New York attending National Broadcasting Company (NBC) rehearsals of educational sessions. The ABC's federal controller of talks, B. H. Molesworth, who had also spent time at the BBC, told the ABC's general manager, "Whatever the particular work may be on which she has been engaged for the BBC her services will certainly be of much greater value to us now than before she went away."96 Broadhead's knowledge of the most up-to-date ideas about education broadcasting, in the center of empire, imbued her with rare power. The desire to be the beneficiary of Broadhead's expertise led to a bidding war for her services with the federal government's Department of Information, with the ABC forced to find a position and a salary that would match what she had been offered by that department. Eventually the ABC created a new post for Broadhead, as presentation assistant (the first woman appointed to that position), and transferred her to the Head Office in Sydney. Her salary in 1941 was £336 per annum—more than double what she had earned when she left Australia less than two years before.
Within a few months, however, in August 1941, Broadhead was seconded to the Malayan Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) as a programme assistant with special responsibility for school broadcasts.97 Her salary was again doubled, to about £650 per annum. Broadhead's BBC connections made her a valuable appointment for the MBC. The ABC was also keen to strengthen its own empire relationships through the involvement of its officers in broadcasting throughout the Commonwealth. The ABC wrote to the passport office in support of Broadhead, emphasizing that "Miss Broadhead's services will be an important factor in the strengthening of British broadcasting in the East," and that "the experience she will gain in Malaya will increase her usefulness to Australian and Empire broadcasting generally."98
The colonial-government-owned MBC had been established in 1940 with British educational broadcaster Eric Davis as chair (as well as director-general of broadcasting, Straits Settlements). On his arrival in December 1940, Davis declared the station "a unit in the radio network of the British Empire."99 Through her work at the MBC Broadhead witnessed the diversity of local, regional, and imperial identities in the British colony (fig. 3). The radio station was dominated by broadcasters from around the British Empire, including Australians, but Asians were also present in large numbers on-air and as technical staff. Broadhead worked closely with Eric Robertson, a Scot who had been employed as a forestry official with the Colonial Service before coming to the MBC in 1941 as producer of talks. While Broadhead mainly socialized with other Europeans, including British and Australian officers, visiting journalists and performing artists, and other broadcasters, she also mixed with a multitude of non-European peoples. She described some of these interactions in a letter written in the back of a recording van:
The Malay syce (driver) is driving. Sawhi is his name, and he is always grinning. He is a dear. Today we have the recording engineer, myself, and a Malay Fisheries Officer. We are all going down to record hauling songs of the Madrassi fishermen. It means getting the mike fixed up on the beach. It also means that I shall have to spend my time shooing away from the mike the innumerable small children, chinese, malaya, Indians who always congregate round.100
Broadhead found Malaya and its peoples intensely interesting, particularly during a trip to Gerik, near Perak, to record the "dream music" of the Temiar. Here she and the other MBC staff were observed by, as well as observers of, the Temiar; ethnographer Pat Noone told Broadhead that after their visit the Temiar would probably "make up a new dance all about us."101 These intimate interactions with colonized peoples contrast with Howlett's more limited encounters during her Cordelia trip, which consisted of either viewing colonized subjects from above or brief exchanges with people working in a service capacity. Broadhead was entranced and excited by this exotic yet comfortingly familiar environment, telling her family: "Everything floods back—trees, and little feelings like feeling a breeze, or smelling a flower, or remembering the shape of a leaf which I had forgotten I had ever known."102 As was the case with Howlett, overseas employment did not lessen Broadhead's sentimental ties to Australia, at least in the early years of her absence.
As air raids increased, Broadhead's position of white privilege was brought home to her. While sheltering in the basement of her apartment she wrote to her sister Sheila, "When you realise how closely people live together here in the Asiatic quarter, you realise that even a few bombs can inflict a high mortality rate." MBC staff, on the other hand, had been allocated "the best shelter in the island."103 In February 1942 Singapore fell to the Japanese, and the staff were dispersed. Broadhead and Robertson, who had married in Malaya, made their way separately to India, where Broadhead worked in the foreign publications bureau in the British Ministry of Information in New Delhi.
Broadhead returned to the BBC after the war, initially as a talks producer in the North American Service. In 1956 she moved to BBC Television as a producer in Schools Broadcasting. As in the case of Howlett, Broadhead's Australian background proved advantageous in her BBC career. In 1950, for example, she produced This Is Britain, a radio series specifically for Australian listeners, significant for being the first radio program broadcast simultaneously on both the ABC and the commercial Macquarie Broadcasting Network (which normally competed for audiences). The ABC's general manager, Charles Moses, and Fred Daniell, executive director of the Macquarie Network, informed the BBC's Australian representative, Patrick Jubb, that they considered the project of vital importance, and desired "to give the widest dissemination to a programme which would tell the Australian people what was really going on in Britain today."104 Daniell's assertion that it was "extremely important that the British point of view should find expression on the air" should be seen in the context of anxiety over the "Americanization" of popular culture, and over Australia's political realignment with the United States since World War II.105 The radio medium, then, was still viewed as a powerful vehicle for strengthening ties between Australia and Britain, just as it was more than ten years earlier when Howlett broadcast from the Cordelia. Producing the program required an understanding of the stories and aspects of British life that would appeal to Australians. It featured segments on traditional British cultural pursuits and sport, and profiles of Australians who had successfully assimilated into England such as actor Peter Finch and cricketer Jock Livingston. Publicity material acknowledged Broadhead's Australian background, but gave more prominence to her experience as an international broadcaster and traveler.106
Broadhead's transnational identity as a Dominions broadcaster accommodated both her Australian and her British connections, bestowing on her the authority to produce programs aimed at diasporic British audiences in Australasia. Although Broadhead apparently saw her national identity as more fluid than did Howlett, until her retirement in 1974 she continued to work on programs about Australia and its place in the Commonwealth (fig. 4). Her son recalled that one trip home was facilitated by Broadhead pushing for an episode of the series Living in the Commonwealth to focus on Australia.107
The interwar BBC offered women the chance to have a career that was not only satisfying, "but also ostensibly on equal terms with men," writes Kate Murphy, although gender disparities in recruitment, pay, and promotion still existed. Women in the salaried ranks (as opposed to waged staff) experienced not only higher earnings but enhanced "mobility, advancement and autonomy."108 By the early 1950s both Howlett and Broadhead were senior radio producers earning good salaries.109 Howlett became a senior salaried employee in 1939, with a starting salary of £310 per annum at a time when £250 was considered decent for a woman.110 Aside from their earning capacity, Howlett and Broadhead were working in areas in which women in Australian broadcasting struggled to make a mark. In 1947 both were working in Overseas Services, Howlett as the organizer of the prestigious current affairs program Radio Newsreel, and Broadhead as a talks producer in the North American Service.
Howlett's BBC career in news and current affairs is particularly striking given that in Australia, women in radio rarely got the opportunity to step outside women's and children's programs. Ken Inglis notes that the only ABC program departments in which women reached positions of influence in the postwar period were those that catered to women and children.111 The first woman to lead a state department was Kay Kinane, who in 1944 became Western Australia's supervisor of Schools Broadcasts.112 In ABC television female producers were few, even in the 1970s. By 1975 there were just two female heads of program departments, both looking after young people: Betty Parsons in Education and Kay Kinane in Young People's. In the BBC between the wars, women were still well represented in children's programming, but they also held salaried positions throughout Administration, Programmes, and Public Relations, including in areas that grew hostile to women after the war, such as News, Outside Broadcasts, and Light Entertainment.113 Three women became BBC directors in the interwar period: Hilda Matheson (director of Talks, 1927–32), Isa Benzie (foreign director, 1933–38), and Mary Somerville (director of Schools Broadcasting, 1931–47).
The BBC also offered women more equitable working conditions, including equal pay and the right to work after marriage and maternity. When Broadhead informed the ABC of her marriage to Eric Robertson, she was immediately transferred from the permanent to the temporary staff and lost her entitlement to superannuation (the pension plan). The prohibition on married women in the Australian Public Service did not end until 1966. The BBC's marriage bar, which was not strictly enforced in the case of valued female staff, was dropped during the war and never reinstated.114 It would be wrong to say that gender discrimination did not exist at the BBC; Broadhead's son recalled his mother's fury that only male staff were eligible to apply for an internal home loan scheme. Into the 1950s, however, the BBC's superior salaries and working conditions and greater range of positions available to women when compared with the ABC proved a draw for Australian women seeking to advance their careers in broadcasting.115 Australian Therese Denny, for example, moved to England in 1949 to pursue a career as a radio producer, and by the end of the 1950s was a successful producer and director for radio and television. In 1963 she was selected for an exchange program between the ABC and the BBC and returned to Australia to produce a series of documentaries for ABC Talks at a time when women were rarely given the opportunity to produce or direct general content.116 Like Howlett and Broadhead, Denny tactically engaged with the institutional connections between the ABC and the BBC to benefit her transnational career.
This article has shown the ways that white women in broadcasting inscribed, and made real, the idea of imperial networks through their labor and mobility. By focusing on the connections between mobility, gender, and identity, it analyzed the self-identification of women broadcasters within a global framework, and illuminated the agency and adaptability of Australian women in different contexts. Muriel Howlett and Peggie Broadhead drew on their institutional and personal cross-border connections to advance their careers. Departing Australia for the metropole not only provided self-development opportunities, but permitted the formation of new professional and national identities, which were shaped in response to different contexts and interactions. Like other Commonwealth broadcasters working at the BBC, Howlett and Broadhead participated in the BBC's mission to project British culture to English-speaking listeners overseas. Within this context of international communication and global labor, in which their experience outside Britain was foregrounded and valued, a new transnational identity of Dominions broadcaster emerged. Transnational journeys can also reveal underlying social inequalities. Broadhead and Howlett's travel underscored their difference from the colonized peoples they encountered and highlighted their privileged position as white women.
The motivations for living "out of place" were complex and various, including opportunity, work, adventure, and love—reasons that are not always accessible to the researcher. Both women in this study had fulfilling, well-paid positions that would have been difficult to abandon. Howlett's frequent expression of devotion to her parents and to her country of birth must be balanced against her dedication to her work in current affairs, an area of broadcasting in which not many women succeeded in Australia. For Broadhead, having a family in England (including a husband also working at the BBC) in addition to a rewarding job would have been factors in her decision to stay in Britain.
Howlett and Broadhead were undoubtedly recipients and conduits of knowledge about British programming and methods, but as this article has shown, they were also important contributors to British broadcasting. The BBC relied on, and profited by, their experience and understanding of Australia and the wider Commonwealth. An examination of Australian women's labor in public service broadcasting in a global context illuminates the complicated connections between women's status and aspirations, their mobility and career advancement, and their national and imperial identities.
