Overview

Everything in our world has been influenced by that fact 'man' designed and led all aspects of it without the inclusion or consideration of 'woman'. Her being, and her story, have been a footnote. While some implications of this are clear - the wage gap, lack of women in leadership - most consequences are so deeply embedded they are all but impossible to see... unless you are looking! The Story of Woman is dedicated to doing just that. Each episode features an interview that explores a different part of our world through the female gaze. Looking at everything from the economy, healthcare, gender roles, and more, we dive deep into at where we are, how we got here and what still needs to be changed in order to (finally) rewrite the story of mankind to become the story of humankind. To us, ‘woman’ means all those who presently identify as such - regardless of which body they were born with. This includes other marginalized genders such as those who identify as non-binary, gender fluid, or anywhere else on the sp Season One showcased the work of a selection of the world’s best non-fiction writers, whose work focuses on the subject of women. From Mary Ann Sieghart’s The Authority Gap and its examination of our gendered workplaces, to Elinor Cleghorn’s scything insights on medicine in Unwell Women, to discussing women and the built environment with Leslie Kern, author of Feminist CIty, our first series ranged across subjects on a global scale. Season Two, to be released in March, will give you the opportunity to hear from some of today's greatest changemakers: women leading their industries and shaping the future of our world. Kicked off by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and Cherie Blair, CBE KC, our highly esteemed guests include those who’ve founded multi-million dollar companies, started global movements, taken home the Olympic gold, and were awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. These women will be sharing their stories of change, and we can’t wait to bring them to you.
