    SPECIAL: Feminist icon Dr Anne Summers on caring about "too many" things

    Can you care about too many things? Or is a prolific professional drive an asset?  Dr Anne Summers is a celebrated author, journalist and feminist leader. She played a pivotal role in the women’s movement, co-founding Australia’s first women’s refuge, Elsie, in the 1970s. She’s advised two Prime Ministers, and has written nine books to date. Dr Summers joins Helen McCabe to reflect on what continues to fuel her, as a woman who’s been told she’s “too driven” time and time again.  Liked this episode?
