Clare Perkins is a British acting legend, having starred in plays, TV, radio and film. This episode was actually recorded before the summer, but a little bout of isolation gave me the time to go back to the episode and I am SO glad I did, because Clare is wise, hilarious and completely unapologetic about expressing how she feels. We spoke about the myriad experiences that create a united womanhood, giving ourselves permission to be angry and the pleasure of sharing a love of reading, storytelling and books. All Clare's figures of influence share a fight to become educated in settings that are trying to keep them down, and I loved chatting about the joy found in resistance.
