DIFFICULT WOMEN

Who gets called difficult, and why? Too outspoken, too ambitious, too angry, too unwilling to play nicely: women who challenge expectations are often judged by standards rarely applied to men. Join Rachel Johnson for a live recording of her podcast, as she joins Mariella Frostrup and Lindsay Skoll to celebrate women who refuse the roles assigned to them.

Together they explore what it costs to resist convention in public life, business, culture and the family, and ask whether being “difficult” might sometimes be a necessary condition of changing the world.
