Ep 248 Scarlett Curtis & Evanna Lynch: Feminists Don't Wear Pink
Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies) is a collection of writing from extraordinary women - from Hollywood actresses, to teenage activists - each telling the story of their personal relationship with feminism.
The collection is edited by journalist and activist Scarlett Curtis and features contributions from Irish actors Evanna Lynch and Saoirse Ronan. On today's show, Scarlett talks to Róisín Ingle about the book, about the controversial dismantling of a display promoting it in Topshop London and some of her favourite contributions - including one by Kiera Knightly describing childbirth in all its gorey details. She also talks about her superstar parents - Richard Curtis and Emma Freud - and her friendship with Saoirse Ronan.
Also on the podcast, Evanna Lynch is on the line from Los Angeles to talk about her essay in Feminists Don't Wear Pink, before running out the door to rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars!
