Summary

A new exhibition tells the story of the Women's Institute in Rylstone, North Yorkshire, who posed nude for a charity calendar, which went on to raise over £5m for the Bloodwise charity. What started as a joke for the WI's members turned into a global trend that inspired others to create nude calendars for charity, although not without controversy.
