The fairground and motorcyle daredevil
Alma Skinner began working for Billy Butlin in 1928, when she was eighteen, and for the next twelve years she travelled at home and abroad. She rode the Wall of Death. She did the same tricks as the men and she was the first woman to ride a motorbike in a British fairground.
Dr Vanessa Toulmin, who's writing a book about Alma, talks to Jenni about the motorcycle daredevil.
