The first openly m g m pwh came out in 19 75, and enlisted her partner. There are two issues as we move in to discussing kind of the feminist movement, past and present. What does every woman need? A whyyes, antik, it would make everything a lot easier. But you really see that with these women living unconventional lives, but supported by male partner, and not having to make those hard decisions about between family and their actavism.

In this episode of the Intelligence Squared podcast we are joined by Helen Lewis, staff writer for the Atlantic, who claims that too many pioneers of women’s rights have been whitewashed or forgotten because society likes its heroines to be cuddly and safe. Lewis believes it’s time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women, and on Tuesday February 25 she came to the Intelligence Squared stage to set out the arguments of her new book, Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights. She appeared in conversation with the feminist campaigner Caroline Criado Perez and BBC broadcaster Samira Ahmed.
