Telling women's stories is RADICAL

The incredible playwright and author Suzie Miller joins Myf to talk about her follow-up to the global phenomenon Prima Facie, the novel Inter Alia, which looks at the justice system through the eyes of a feminist judge whose son is accused of a crime. They discuss what it's like to watch a story take on a life of its own in 30 languages and 50 countries, the invisible emotional labour working mothers carry, and why men need to start having uncomfortable conversations with their sons about masculinity, porn and consent. Suzie also shares the story behind her new play Strong Is the New Pretty, a love letter to the women who made the AFLW happen, and explains how her work has inspired young women to study law and even changed the way a UK judge directs juries.
