The Best Women

A podcast on feminist excellence

Hello to all my subscribers, and allow me to introduce my new podcast, The Best Women, the first episode of which will be in your inbox later today. We begin with an interview with Carole Hooven, the evolutionary biologist and author of Testosterone: the Hormone That Dominates and Divides Us (2021).

Following Hooven we will hear from the author, secularist, and feminist campaigner, Joan Smith, author of the seminal text Misogynies (1989).

Following these formidable feminists I bring you a world-famous athlete - someone who is the very best in her field. I hope I'm not giving too much away if I tell you that she is also a major lesbian icon.

Throughout the series I will be speaking to the leading world expert on pornography and how it shapes attitudes and sexuality; a sexual exploitation and domestic abuse survivor turned cage fighter; a world-renowned feminist linguist who will help me unpack the origins and current (mis)use of the word 'misogyny'; a sex trade survivor and best-selling author; and many more. Please tune in: the podcasts will be between 30 and 60 minutes maximum and will give you plenty to think about.

Thank you as ever to my paid subscribers, for making it easier for me to spend time on this platform producing content, which I love doing. And to all my subscribers, it is such an honour that you consider me and my guests interesting enough to sign up. Warmest wishes to all, Julie
