Past studies of broadcasting histories sometimes excluded and rendered invisible the work of women, concerned as such histories often were with recounting the achievements of pioneering men or detailing institutional chronologies through themes of technology, bureaucracy, leadership and innovation (Abramson, 2003; Burns, 1986; Crisell, 2002; Herbert, 2004). Studies of individual broadcasting institutions largely followed suit, providing rich organisational histories that were consciously or unconsciously selective in their various foci (Briggs, 1995a, 1995b; Potter, 2022). Feminist media scholarship has adopted a different lens for the study of broadcasting histories by viewing institutions and organisations less as abstract structures and more as the setting for people and their activities. Organisations are understood as dynamic sites of human activity, in which women are crucial actors and participants (Bell, 2021; Hendy, 2022; Hilmes, 2013; Murphy, 2016a; Moseley et al., 2016). This issue, the third in Critical Studies in Television’s special volume marking the centenary of the BBC, adopts this approach to examine the role of women at the BBC across its 100-year history.

过去对广播历史的研究有时会排除女性的工作并使女性的工作不可见，因为这些历史往往是通过技术、官僚主义、领导力和创新的主题来叙述先锋男性的成就或详细说明制度年表（Abramson，2003；Burns，1986） ；克里塞尔，2002 年；赫伯特，2004 年）。对个别广播机构的研究在很大程度上效仿，提供了丰富的组织历史，这些历史在其不同的焦点上有意识或无意识地进行选择（布里格斯，1995a，1995b；波特，2022）。女权主义媒体学术研究采用了不同的视角来研究广播历史，不再将机构和组织视为抽象结构，而更多地视为人们及其活动的背景。组织被理解为人类活动的动态场所，其中女性是关键的参与者和参与者（Bell，2021；Hendy，2022；Hilmes，2013；Murphy，2016a；Moseley 等人，2016）。本期第三期《电视批判研究》纪念 BBC 成立一百周年的特刊采用这种方法来审视女性在 BBC 100 年历史中所扮演的角色。
