Today's episode of Breaking Free is about what it feels like to be female. What privilege really means and how gender inequality impacts us all.
I include a checklist a poem and a snippet from a book I am enjoying at the moment. I highlight some of the many challenges women face and why there is a need for feminism even though many positive changes in the last 120 years for women.
