• The double bind of being the eldest daughter.
• “I thought menopause was something that happened to 70-year-olds.”
• The hidden treasure in compost.
• Jazz singer Norma Winstone on being sampled by Drake.
• The quiet rage of caregivers.
• Why it’s never been harder to make a living as a writer.
• Robbie Williams thinks you should be taking manopause more seriously. 🤣 (£)
• What my grandma’s lipstick taught me about the past. (This is an extract from one of my books of the year, A History of Women in 101 Objects.)
