Feminism after Weinstein, with Laura Bates, Emma Dabiri and Emilie Pine
57:07 Share

To mark International Women's Day on March 8, and following Harvey Weinstein's recent conviction in New York, we're doing something a bit different. In this episode, Gris speaks to three of today's most compelling writers and campaigners about feminism now. They touch on everything from changing beauty standards to teens and social media to modern motherhood. Prepare to be surprised. Or as Lilah put it: "whatever I thought I was going to hear, that is not what I heard." (A warning if you're listening with kids: this episode contains some swearing.)

The discussion was recorded at FT NextGen, a one-day festival in London in November 2019 — watch this space) for details of this year's NextGen festivals in London and New York.
