Woman’s Hour: A Manifesto for Bold and Brilliant Women
About this ebook
For over 70 years, Woman’s Hour has interviewed many of the biggest female names from entertainment, politics, the arts and beyond, exploring the issues at the core of female life and putting women at the centre of the conversation.
Woman’s Hour: A Manifesto for Bold and Brilliant Women brings together fresh insights, alternative perspectives, and daring ideas from the remarkable women who have contributed to the show in recent years, including Susie Orbach, Joan Smith, Laura Bates, Rae Earle, Nimco Ali, Sali Hughes, Helena Kennedy, Hibo Wardere, Lesley Regan and Daisy Buchannan. Edited and introduced by Woman’s Hour presenters Jane Garvey and Jenni Murray, this book gets to the heart of the topics that matters most to women today – from anxiety, activism and sexual harassment to beauty, body image and resilience.
Featuring personal stories, humorous observations, and a strong opinion or two, Woman’s Hour: A Manifesto is an inspiring, frank and funny examination of what it really is to be a woman today.
