SIM Ep 480 IWD 2021 #5: Feminist writing with Dr Hannah Dawson

Ideas around feminism might change over time, but the battles feminists face have alarming continuity.

In the fifth episode of our International Women's Day 2021 series, she chats to Jen about just that, the writers that shaped her, and the absolute bloody joy of Jeanette Winterson.
