Alex Casey, Leonie Hayden, Michèle A’Court tackle the past month in women, with thanks to our friends at The Women’s Bookshop.
Mother Earth? What about Father Earth?! In cool news, the world is on fire and some men aren't using reusable bags because they think it makes them look less masculine. There's also the scarily familiar story JJ Feeney taxi assault case, a bold step forward in abortion reform and Marco Pierre White deciding that women don't belong in the kitchen at all because they are too emotional.
Plus, our recommended books and movies of the month including Glow, Late Night and Booksmart. Get into it!
