Reviews
- A ‘must-listen’ podcast
Thank you, Bella, for your discussions with very interesting guests, which number among them our finest journalists. Janet continues her media journalism here over many topics, including what we could call ‘sensible feminism’ (not too much about!). Many of the books are my favourites over a lifetime of reading so wonderful to hear the speakers’ comments on their appreciation of these classics.
