Women behaving badly: "Unfeminist" female characters in fiction

Welcome to the first ever episode of the Feminist Fiction podcast! Brought to you by Megan Sinclair and Natalie Beech who together run the Feminist Fiction book club collective, a series of book clubs up and down the UK, focused on reading with a feminist perspective.

In this first episode we delve into messy and "unfeminist" female characters and the response to them, investigating why some of our most famous fictional messy women are beloved, whilst others are despised. We discuss Cassie from Euphoria, Fleabag, Sally Rooney, Lisa Taddeo, Megan Nolan's Acts of Desperation and more. Plus, plenty of cultural recommendations!
