Women in power speak differently. Viv Groskop explains why

In an age of social media soundbites, the art of public speaking is changing – especially for women. Viv Groskop, journalist and author of How To Own The Room, joins Ros Taylor to explore the speaking superpowers of women from Michelle Obama to Greta Thunberg, how to feel more confident when making speeches, why some women make their voices sound lower, and how new technologies are changing the way we speak.

• “Margaret Thatcher’s speeches were trapped in a gendered stereotype.”
• “We have a cacophony of voices now which is changing what power looks like.”
• “The debating culture style is losing out to social media soundbites.”
