219. Kathryn Stockett

This week's Difficult Woman is Kathryn Stockett, who, 17 years after the release of her hit novel 'The Help', joins me to talk about her long-awaited second book, 'The Calamity Club'. Kathryn tells Rachel why characters are so central to her process of writing and what she wants readers to take away from the novel. They also discuss the parallels between the 1930s and today's society when it comes to women's rights.
