Difficult Women, with Helen Lewis and Rosamund Urwin

Helen Lewis argues that feminism's success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women, who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines. It's time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women.  To find out more about the book click here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/difficult-women/helen-lewis/9781784709730
