Ep 253 Susan Wood: Photographer, Journalist, Feminist

October 29, 2018

Susan Wood is an American photographer most notable for her work on location of the 1969 film Easy Rider – starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. In a career spanning more than 50 years, she has photographed John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol, John Wayne, Betty Friedan and hundreds more. Her latest book turns her lens on Ireland, a country she has strong connections to (she married two Irish men… at different times). She was in Dublin to launch the book recently and spoke to our co-producer Jennifer Ryan about the photographs in the book, her love of Ireland and she also shared some stories from her incredible career.
