55 - Rosie Boycott

Rachel Johnson's Difficult Women

EpisodeJun 20, 202239m

I only invite women I admire to guest and I have admired Rosie Boycott, the co-founder of both the feminist magazine Spare Rib and the feminist publishing house Virago, then ground-breaking national newspaper editor, from afar and near for several decades now. As difficult women ie women celebrate the 50th birthday of Spare Rib, Rosie - now Baroness Boycott, as she entered the Lords as a people’s peer four years ago - joins me to talk about her extraordinary life and career.

Well-behaved women rarely make history – as someone once said – difficult women do. In this new LBC new podcast, Rachel Johnson's Difficult Women, Rachel will be talking to women who had to be a pain in the backside to get where they are today. Women who take the word difficult as a compliment not an insult. And women who had to fight, resist, insist, or otherwise be badly behaved in order to get things done.
