Sherry started her career as a cryptographer for the US government before working in start-ups in Silicon Valley and then in Canada. She is a multiple entrepreneur and has created many of her own companies, combining her extraordinary tech and leadership skills.
She and her late husband took the technology used for smartphones and applied it to vehicles. They quickly became security experts for the US Department of Transportation and sold the company in 2017 to Robert Bosch.
Sharron loves being an entrepreneur because ‘you can see the impact that you're making, you're hiring people and touch every one of those lives and the energy of learning new things’.
She founded ‘Profound Impact’ to help education, research and community organizations leverage data to measure program impact, tell their story and inform strategy.
Sherry is also involved in supporting other women through an organisation called the Perimeter Institute. Physics is one area where women are the most underrepresented and their current goal is to have 10 PhD students, female students from around the world.
Sherry is particularly concerned about how difficult it is for women entrepreneurs to raise finance and is looking for likeminded people to help move this forward.

Julia is an ‘expression mentor’. She specialises in working with introverted and anxiety-prone women who have a history of public speaking fear or performance anxiety and it's holding them back in their careers or from growing their business.
Julia initially trained as an actress and then became a yoga teacher. Eventually she wanted more and she started teaching yoga teachers about their voice and about how to be confident in the spotlight before she transitioned to working with professionals and entrepreneurs.
The progression of her work as a public speaking coach has also mirrored the progression of her own growth. She came to realise that she was an anxious and introverted person and that it was exhausting her. So she started diving into nervous system regulation techniques. This led her to specialise in working with introverted women and helping them to regulate their nervous system, take care of their energy, manage their lifestyle and transform them into authentic, powerhouse speakers.
Julia encourages them to remember that the world needs their voice. In fact, it's the introverted ones, and it's the women who often have the most important messages that the world hasn't yet heard. She trusts that they’ve taken time to really feel into and think through what they want to share.

Lilian Sue is a PR coach and publicist. She helps creative entrepreneurs to build healthy PR mindsets and a successful PR strategy.
Lilian grew up in a very traditional Chinese Canadian family. She explains the difficulties that she's had in pushing against the cultural traditions and the strict family roles, and what it's meant to her to live the life that she wanted.
She learnt very early on to put boundaries in place and have ‘No Go Zones’ in order to maintain somewhat of a positive relationship with her parents.
One of the early pieces of entrepreneurship advice that she got from mentors have been ‘Don't take advice from somebody who's never been there’. Because anything they tell you is not going to give you the answer that you need, or that you're looking for, to move forward. And that's been very, very true.
She also thinks that as women, we are not taught to celebrate ourselves enough. And that's what she is trying to change in her business and on a personal level.

Jennifer Hicks is the Director of Client & Business Development at Capital Fund Law Group. She speaks about transitioning from her role as a police officer to working in corporate. She is also a strong champion of women and specifically addresses why women sabotaging other women.
When she first started her career as a police officer, she was treated with a lot of respect. But when she moved into another department, she experienced harassment and discrimination. She finally spoke out, filed a complaint and managed to restore her reputation. But she was emotionally broken.
She left law enforcement and started a new adventure as an administrative assistant at Capital Fund Law Group and quickly climbed the ladder to her current position as Director of Client & Business Development. She saw many similarities between how women were perceived in the corporate world and how they were perceived in law enforcement. But a particular event in the corporate world started her thinking about why some women sabotage others. As she puts it: ‘I don't want them to have to go through the vile, awful things and business that some women have had to go through, just to understand how corporate works, and to network and to get ahead doesn't mean having to do things that are against your character’.
As a result, she put together a group of women to talk through why some women are sabotaging others and to help women in corporate like. As she says, you always have a choice: stop it, be complicit or be the perpetrator.

Sheena Simpson completed a Master's degree in Asian History at the University of Sydney and specialized in the development of the Indian railways. She traveled to India on five separate occasions from 1989 to 2005 where she experienced first hand what it was like to travel on the railways.
In her thesis, she studied the economic and social impact of railways on the Indian population, but also the harsh working conditions. The British had started to build railways in India because of the flourishing cotton trade - the railways and the cotton trade were run by the East India Company.
Sheena journey was extremely rewarding and she invites us to follow our interests, even if we are not sure where they will lead us.

Jill Philips is the author of "Lamlash Street, a portrait of 1960s, postwar London through one family's story". In this episode, Jill talks about why it was so important for her to write a book about growing up in Cockney London after the war.
From food rationing to swimming lessons, Jill gives us an insight into the reality of life in the heart of Cockney London only a few short decades ago.
She talks about her relationship with her mother and how unusual it was for her mother to have insisted on Jill pursuing an education after the age of 16, especially in a culture where men traditionally made all the decisions for the family and girls' education was not a priority.
In writing the book, she came to understand how important family was to her and what a strong support system she had had growing up, with family and friends all living close by. This gave her a sense of safety and helped her to succeed later in life.
It took her three years to write the book, with the help of a writing coach. Her family and friends were sceptical about her writing a book, which is why she chose someone who was not going to let her future be determined by what she had achieved in the past.

Stacey and Brooke work together at rebellion energy in Oklahoma. Stacey is the president and CEO and Brooke is the senior engineering and geological technician. They are also the co-founders of Fellow Environmental Partners, a non-profit focussed on plugging orphaned oil and gas wells in an effort to reduce methane emissions.
Stacey and Brooke wanted to do something different for their next project. They were throwing around ideas and started to think about abandoned wells. The more they learnt about the methane emissions and water contamination caused by abandoned oil wells, the more they realised that no one was focussing on the massive environmental damage being caused and how to stop it.
It is a highly technical issue with huge social and environmental impacts. There are hundreds of thousands of orphaned wells - under schools, under houses or under agricultural land. Some are visible - some are not. Some belong to the state - some are private. The costs of plugging a well are huge. The smallest well costs at least $20 000 to plug.
Stacey and Brooke believe that many people in the oil and gas industry are becoming far more aware of the environmental damage that the industry causes and want to do something about it. Within Fellow Environmental Partners, they are looking to create a diverse and inclusive committee with many different perspectives.

Paoline Ekambi est la présidente et fondatrice de Sportail Community, une entreprise de l'économie sociale et solidaire. Elle a été joueuse de basket professionnelle pendant 18 ans, dont 13 ans dans l’équipe française.
Pour Paoline, le sport est avant tout une passion qui lui a offert une ouverture sur le monde, une connaissance d’elle-même, des valeurs, des voyages et des amitiés, comme elle le raconte dans cette interview. A 14 ans, elle intègre un parcours scolaire qui lui permet de mener à bien le sport et ses études, un moment qu’elle décrit comme une opportunité pour elle qui vient de vivre le traumatisme de l’inceste par son père.
Cette rage de réussir et de combattre lui viennent notamment de ces moments difficiles. Grâce à ses entraîneurs et sa famille de coeur, elle parvient à surmonter ses circonstances personnelles, mène une carrière sportive de haut niveau et fonde il y a quelques années Sportail Community, pour aider les sportifs en fin de parcours dans leur processus de transition professionnelle.
En effet, les sportifs de haut niveau ont un savoir-faire et un savoir-être qui intéressent beaucoup les entreprises et Sportail Community les conseille pour identifier et recruter des talents hors du commun.
Aujourd’hui Paoline finit d’écrire son livre et partage son expérience avec d’autres femmes victimes de violences.

Claudine Herzlich était directrice de laboratoire au CNRS et a été la premiere femme a créer un laboratoire qui appartenait a la fois au CNRS, a l’INSERM et a l’EHESS.
Elle est aujourd’hui retraitée et partage son incroyable parcours.
Claudine a étudié la psychologie dans les années 1950 et nous raconte l’ambiance de l’époque à La Sorbonne, où la psychologie était une nouvelle discipline. Durant un séminaire avec Claude Lévi-Strauss, elle décide de son sujet de thèse et se focalise sur la santé et plus particulièrement la perception des maladies, sujet totalement nouveau en psychologie sociale en France à cette époque. Sa these est un succès, sera traduite en anglais et sera suivie par l’écriture d’un livre. Elle a ensuite commencé un nouveau projet d'observation en milieu hospitalier et a progressivement développé des contacts avec l'INSERM.
Comme elle le décrit, elle a eu beaucoup de chance, dans ses rencontres par exemple, mais elle dit aussi: 'je n avais pas la moindre idée mais j’y suis allée quand même’.
Ça demandait du courage mais néanmoins Claudine ne se perçoit pas comme une féministe ‘aggressive’, elle a peu ressenti de discrimination en tant que femme. Elle a juste refuser de se laisser traiter ‘en femme’.

Elisabeth is the Senior Manager of the Marine Conservation Program of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in Bangladesh. Her main focus is on protecting threatened marine megafauna.
Elisabeth grew up in Switzerland and started her career as a teacher. In 2002, she moved to Bangladesh, married a Bangladeshi and ‘fell into’ conservation work. When she was working as a tour guide in the Sundarban forest, she and her husband became aware of the lack of protection of aquatic ecosystems in Bangladesh. Thanks to her encounter with Brian Smith, a mentor from the Wildlife Conservation Society, she began a program for protecting threatened marine megafauna. She talks in detail about the successes of the program, both in protecting the megafauna and in obtaining the support of the local people.
Although there are difficulties in living in Bangladesh, Elisabeth finds that there is a lot of space for creativity and innovation and the freedom to try things out. She also takes great pride in the growing conservation movement and is a strong supporter of the professional development of people who are interested and keen in pursuing this career.

Diane Quinn is the co-founder and artistic director of ‘Unseen Theatre’, an audio podcast showcasing original plays featuring female protagonists.
She is also a professional dancer, singer, actor, choreographer, director, company manager and playwright.
Diane trained in ballet as a child and then went into musical theatre, regional and national theatre and film and television. Eventually, through dancing and singing and focusing on the musical aspect of her career, she transitioned into becoming an actor.
She always knew that she wanted to perform in character because she loved reading plays as a child and enjoys inhabiting character and learning about the lives that she hasn’t led.
Her latest project, ‘Unseen Theatre’, is an audio podcast that showcases original plays that have not yet been produced. They all have a female protagonist. She wanted to share female stories and the different perspective a female has when going through life. The plays also deal with various current political issues.
Diane really loves an audio format as it allows the imagination to be activated. Most importantly, she wanted to be involved in something that was accessible to a large group of people regardless of location, financial situation and mobility.
‘Unseen Theatre’ is available in all podcast platforms.

Getrude Matshe was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in London and New Zealand. Her main activity is her company ‘Her Story Circle’ and she is also a writer, a coach and a textile artist.
Getrude is a life force. She is aligned with her gifts and follows her intuition - she has had an incredible life! She was not afraid to quit a job with no Plan B and 3 children to feed and she is always coming up with new business ideas!
After a period of depression and a strange accident, Getrude set up Women Circles ‘to bring women together to share their stories, to inspire, to motivate and to be the light at the end of somebody else's tunnel’. She posted her business idea on Facebook and it went viral.
She also mentors women on how to speak and her idea evolved into a social impact movement with a vision that every woman who comes to the platform is not only coming to speak, she is coming to teach. Getrude curates all of these stories through her publishing company into a series of books. She harnesses women's intellectual ideas and helps repackage and sell them.
She has also been hired to set up women's cooperatives throughout Africa.
In South Africa, for example, the women make necklaces with beads, then take a picture of themselves with the art piece and their story and send it to Getrude on WhatsApp. Then she sells the necklaces through her website and people get to meet the woman who's made the necklace. This also cuts out the middleman so the money benefit the families directly.
She has many other activities, including advocating against FGM.

Medusa Tn est une rappeuse tunisienne qui s’est faite connaître pendant le printemps arabe avec son titre ‘Tounsiya Fière De L'être’. Aujourd'hui elle habite en Île-de-France où elle poursuit ses études d'ingénieur.
Initialement elle a voulu rapper pour donner le point de vue d’une femme tunisienne dans un contexte où il n’y avait que des rappeurs hommes. Elle aborde des sujets politiques et sociaux mais toujours d’un point de vue féministe. Son message et ses chansons sont devenus un porte voix pour beaucoup de femmes dans le monde arabe, en particulier pendant le printemps arabe.
Medusa n’a pas froid aux yeux : elle a notamment créé un flash mob avec une association de défense du droit à l’avortement des femmes en Tunisie dans un contexte politique difficile et dangereux.
Medusa est aussi maman et passionnée par les nouvelles technologies. Tout en poursuivant ses études d’ingénieur, elle continue la scène et travaille sur un nouvel album.
Le message qu’elle voudrait faire passer aux femmes est d’être unies dans leur féminisme et d’arracher leur place, ce qu’elle a fait avec un courage exceptionnel à découvrir dans son interview!

Pamela was the director of learning and development at Freddie Mac and a mentor for many. She is now an instructional designer and continues to act as a mentor.
Helping and advising people brings a lot of joy to Pamela, so it’s no surprise that she found herself mentoring people quite organically.
In the corporate world, people tend to use mentoring as a tool to jump to the next level. For Pamela, advancement comes naturally when you find your joy and your niche at work.
As she puts it: ‘It would be really nice if for young people, we could change that paradigm, to think what's going to bring you true pleasure and satisfaction. And pursue that and not worry so much about whether or not it's going to bring you material things or prestige’.
She would love to see women advocating for themselves, taking leaps of faith and being braver. She is living her talk and recently left her position at Freddie Mac. Guess what? Her new opportunity as an instructional designer kind of fell into her lap!

Hanan recently retired from her position as General Secretary for Northeast Africa for Danone.
She was born in Egypt but has lived in many countries and her career has been far from to linear.
Hanan chose to stay at home when she had her two children and was terrified when she returned to work. She felt as many women do - that the world had changed. However, Hanan persisted and, when she moved from Amsterdam to Saudi Arabia, had the courage to pitch a programme proposals directly to the head of a Saudi TV station.
Hanan's story is a great reminder that we can do anything if we set our minds to it.

Gemma Sisia grew up in Australia and has been living in Tanzania for the past 20 years. In 2002, she founded the School of St. Jude, a charity school in the Arusha Region of Tanzania. Today the school has more than 1800 students.
Gemma saw for herself how her parents always made school fees the priority, even when times were tough. When she graduated as a maths and science teacher and had the opportunity to teach in Tanzania, she did. But in the mid- 90’s, many of the students she was teaching had to leave because they were losing their parents to AIDS and weren't able to pay the school fees. That really upset her.
Back in Australia she told her parents: ‘I'm going to build a school in Africa that doesn't charge school fees’. She was under 25 and thanks to her vision and a friend's $10 donation, she opened a bank account and started fundraising.
When she arrived in Tanzania in 2001 , she built the first classrooms in six months. Today she manages an impressive USD 6 million budget to run all of their schools.
Their staff is mainly local and their ethos is based on keeping their students in the country or in Africa to make a difference in the long term.
Listen to some of her students too in this incredible interview!

Nikki is an American film director and producer based in Paris. She speaks about working in the film industry as a woman and as a mother.
Nikki studied film in Paris and quickly realised that it was a male dominated industry. Luckily, she had a lot of support from women. She started freelancing as a journalist and producer for CNN in Paris straight out of school, then freelanced for a few years until she created her own creative agency.
Nikki is passionate about avoiding biais towards women in the film industry. ’It’s important to have women in the film industry so that they can tell real and accurate stories that portray them as people and not just as women looking for love interests. When you start giving women cameras and the freedom to film things, you start getting some very interesting scenes and very different viewpoints.’
Nikki lost a pregnancy at 5 months. She now also creates spaces for people to grieve about losing late-term pregnancies.

Emily Cohen runs a community radio station in the state of Wyoming called the Jackson Hole Community Radio. She started as a DJ and after a few months became the executive director.
This is a fascinating interview about her role as the director and producer of a film about the song Liza Jane, a tune that has been passed back and forth between black and white musicians since the 1800s. Liza Jane is perhaps the most recorded song in America.
Emily has worked in teaching, city planning and ecological design. She has always been fascinated by communities and how they live and grow and how we design them so that they are more environmentally friendly.
Emily is a great example of "just try things"!

Charlene Liu has become one of the iconic figures of the LGBT movement in Shanghai. She is also a co-founder of ‘Ladies Who Tech’ and a diversity and inclusion consultant.
She somehow always knew that she was gay but it’s only when she organised the Shanghai Pride festival that she finally accepted who she was, and then had the confidence to come out to friends, colleagues and even her family.
She is also an engineer and in 2016 she became the co founder of ‘Ladies Who Tech’, a convention that advocates for women working in tech industries.
Charlene had many disruptions and unpredictable turns in her life and she thinks that feeling comfortable and confident in her own skin would have been so much easier if she had had more role models as a young woman.
She is now combining all of her experiences in her job as a diversity and inclusion consultant.

Rita is a nuclear scientist who resigned 3 years ago. Now, she spends her winters in a remote cabin in the mountains with her father and son, cut off from the world, feeding elk.
Rita enjoyed her career as a nuclear scientist but at some point, she heard her inner voice telling her that she had to quit. She was missing out on her son's life, she felt her career was not progressing and she just had renovated a house.
She had no idea what to do next. It was the fall and she said to her add: ‘Don’t hire anybody, I am coming to feed the elk with you’.

Shilpa Panchmatia grew up as an Indian girl in London. She is an extremely successful business woman and is currently running a business as a Business Growth Coach called Shilpa P.
This interview covers a lot of ground. We talk about how Shilpa’s ancestors came to be living in East Africa and why they had to leave. We talk about the influence of the Hindu culture and her caste on her life and her career. We talk about the subtle but very real discrimination she suffered as a woman and an Asian in the corporate world.
Shilpa teaches a song to the little girl next door: “I’m smart, I’m intelligent and I can do anything I want”. Shilpa’s mother taught this to her and this has been a guiding principle in her life. For example, she started a very successful business with nothing more than an office, a pen, a pot plant and a few vague ideas.
Shilpa talks about her burnout three years ago and how it led her to find joy, happiness and Ikigaï. She talks about how she integrates this understanding in her work with clients.
Shilpa shares the three top things she teaches her clients as a Business Growth Coach: being clear on who you are as a leader, visionary and entrepreneur; transforming the entrepreneur’s vision into reality; and thinking about scaling and having an exit strategy from the beginning.
Shilpa is an active supporter of the project Life and talks about the foundation’s work with women in India who have been thrown out of the family with their children and are hanging around the streets.

It is also about the history of the Collit's family, the history of the whole Hartley Valley area and a tribute to the wide group of people who Mum worked with while doing the restoration. A recent reader said: "Your amazing book has been on my kitchen bench since arriving here and I am loving it. I have sensed that you are beside me telling the story".

Marisi López is from Corrientes in the north of Argentina. In 2005, she joined the Tompkins Conservation team in their work on the stunningly beautiful Iberá Park. The Tompkins started buying up land several decades ago, much to the dismay of the local people. However, when they realised that the park was bringing them jobs and saw the land regenerating, they became huge supporters. Current projects within the park include reintroducing species such as the jaguar and the giant otter. Marisi herself is working on opening up “Tourist Gateways” in order to provide more points of access for tourists and the local people.

Daniela trained as a marine biologist and works with marine elephants and other species that are endemic to her area.

On Tuesday 29 June 2021, we held the first "World According To Women", a forum for the women I have interviewed for this podcast to come together and go deeper on the issues, observations and concerns I am hearing from so many of them.
For this event, Meredith Marshall and Camilla Borrevik shared their observations on “Better conversations: How we might communicate to bring out the best in us".
Meredith talked about how she changed communication styles in one of the biggest financial organisations in the US and Camilla talked about her work as a Norwegian anthropologist who works with small Pacific Island states on climate change and how the Fijian leadership at COP23 changed the way people were communicating.
Maria Laura Baccarini connected us all on a completely different level when she sang from the prologue of her new show, "Atalante".
The theme of "better conversations" was exactly the right place to start. I hope you enjoy this exploration into what it means to communicate in a way that is profoundly human.

“C’est comme s’il y avait des morceaux de puzzle qui s’étaient reliés. Je vois que tout ce que j’ai fait à un sens et un fil conducteur et m’amène à ce que je suis aujourd’hui. J’ai traversé des moments de doute, d'errance. J’ai beaucoup cherché ma place. J’avais une passion, j’allais vite et puis je m’ennuyais. J’ai compris que ce n’était pas à un endroit que j’allais le trouver, dans une méthode ou un outil, c’est comme si je devais créer mon propre art. J’ai compris que ce que j’ai fait de façon créative est mon art. J’ai créé ma propre pâte. Je me sens alignée avec ces parts de moi. Ça s’est alchimisé à l’intérieur de moi. Avant, il y avait une séparation entre les différentes parties de moi. Au lieu de choisir une casquette, je les ai rassemblées et il n’y a plus vraiment de différence entre ce que je fais pour moi et ce que je propose professionnellement."- Karla Beauchamps
Karla a suivi une formation de journaliste et de photographe. Cependant, lors d'un voyage en Afrique sur un voilier avec de jeunes reporters, elle découvre que ce qui l'intéresse vraiment, c'est la nature humaine. De retour à Paris, elle suit une formation de thérapeute. Depuis lors, Karla a exploré de multiples avenues intégratives et holistiques qui prennent en compte toutes les dimensions d'une personne (son corps physique, ses émotions, sa psyché et son esprit). Elle a réalisé qu'elle n'est pas une seule chose, mais que tout ce qu'elle apporte à son travail correspond à tout ce qu'elle a étudié au fil des ans.

This is a very special episode, because the person I am interviewing is... my Mum.
Mum is hugely creative but she is also a doer - she will have an idea and the next thing you know, the project will be up and running or even finished. She is a drawer and a painter, was a potter for a while, she ran an arts and crafts shop for many years, and I don’t remember a time when she wasn’t doing up houses. She organised her last painting exhibition at the age of 82.
In this interview, I talk to her about what was probably the most important project in her life: restoring Collits Inn. Collits Inn is situated at the foot of the western side of the Blue Mountains, two hours west of Sydney, and is one of Australia’s oldest inns. When she and Dad bought it, it was a ruin but she turned it into an award-winning French restaurant.

“It was when the leaders on the course were describing how a child would feel when they had been sexually abused and I remember thinking: I don’t need you to tell me this, I know already. This was the first time I knew, if that makes sense. It had never really dawned on me that that’s what that was. I had nothing to compare it to. When you’re a small child, you only know what the adults around you tell you. So I didn’t know that what I was going through was any different to anyone else. When you’re growing up with it, when you’re an infant, you don’t have anything to compare it to. You don’t have the life skills. You aren’t able to make those connections in the same way an adult can.” - May Baxter-Thornton
May Baxter-Thornton grew up in a coal-mining town in Wales. Her father, a promising musician, was sent down the mines when he was fourteen. He sexually abused May from when she was a young child to when she was about nine.
She talks about learning to have the courage to be able to talk about her sexual abuse openly, about the type of man her father was and about her memories of her childhood.
She talks about how difficult it is for children to say that they are being sexually abused, the signs to look out for and what we can do about it if we suspect that there is a problem.
She talks about her role as a member of the Victims and Survivors Consultative Panel for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in England and Wales (for more information visit www.iicsa.org.uk or www.truthproject.org.uk).
We discuss the difficulties of managing a problem that occurs in the intimacy of people’s homes and whether the criminal justice system is the best way of stopping this behaviour.
May has a podcast called ‘Dragontart presents…’, this play on words embraces the labels used by society to demonise women. May discusses a different issue each week and it can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Lauren is the first woman to have swum 35 kilometres around Lord Howe Island, a stunningly beautiful island located 600 kilometres off the east coast of Australia. She talks about why she did the swim and the mental state she had to be in to cope with challenges such as a huge swell, swimming into a current that kept her in the same place for two hours and dealing with the sharks...
A short documentary film is being made about Lauren, the swim and women and girls in ocean swimming.

“Ce qui me plaît dans cette histoire c’est que Atalante est un personnage de la mythologie. Pas une déesse. Au contraire, elle une femme symbole de l’indépendance. De féminité et en même temps de force. Elle est très pure et très intelligente. C’est une femme qui aime. C’est une femme pleine de passion. Ce n’est pas une femme qui veut être un homme. Mais par contre elle met des hommes dans l’embarras.” - Maria-Laura Baccarini
Maria-Laura est chanteuse, actrice et danseuse. Aujourd’hui, elle est également écrivaine et compositrice et amène à son processus créatif toute la richesse de sa longue carrière. Adolescente, elle était membre de l’équipe italienne de gymnastique rythmique et sportive. A 18 ans, elle est devenue star d’une série télévisée sur RAI Uno. Pendant plusieurs années, elle jouait le rôle principal dans les comédies musicales telles que “Chicago”, “Cabaret” et “West Side Story” en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Plus tard, elle s’est reconvertie en chanteuse de jazz.
Elle nous parle de sa carrière ainsi que ses dernières œuvres et son processus créatif. Son tout dernier spectacle, Atalante, tiré du livre Atalanta de Gianni Rodari lui-même basé sur un mythe grec, explore l’amour dans toutes ses formes et la féminité puissante.

Fumi Suematsu travaille à Tokyo comme enseignante de la langue japonaise.
Elle a voyagé en Nouvelle-Zélande et en Australie lorsqu’elle était jeune. Quand elle est revenue au Japon, elle ne voyait pas d’avenir, donc elle est partie à Paris - une échappatoire. Une fois arrivée, la beauté de la pluie, le ciel gris et les bâtiments correspondaient à son état intérieur.
Fumi est restée en France pendant 16 ans. Elle décrit sa passion pour le travail - lorsqu’un sujet l'intéresse, elle se dévoue complètement. Mais ce dévouement l’a aveuglé à son état de santé. Un matin, elle était aux urgences après une fausse couche. L’après-midi, elle est allée à son cours de français. C’est son professeur qui a arrêté les cours et l'a renvoyé chez elle. Son directeur de recherche lui a dit : “L’Université existera toujours, et j’y serai également encore pendant au moins vingt ans”. Ces mots l'ont sauvé. Elle a arrêté son travail et ses études pour se consacrer à sa famille.
Mais… malgré son ralentissement de rythme, elle a créé une école japonaise.
Lorsque ces enfants étaient plus grands, elle a repris son mémoire sur l’intégration des immigrés d’Okinawa à Osaka. Elle parle de l’histoire d’Okinawa, il était une fois, un royaume indépendant jusqu’au 15ème siècle et, plus tard, occupé par les Etats-Unis après la guerre jusqu'en 1972 . Elle parle des difficultés d’intégration des gens d’Okinawa à Osaka. Et surtout, elle parle de l’aveuglement d’une société dominante par rapport à la violence du processus d'assimilation d’une société minoritaire.
Aujourd’hui, dans ses cours, elle pratique l’ouverture d’esprit - en tant que professeur, elle a autant à apprendre de ses élèves qu’ils ont à apprendre d’elle.

“Red Tents are places for women to connect, to relate to one another, to support one another. Red tents were inspired by the book “The Red Tent'' by Anita Diamond, which is a fictional account of women in Biblical times meeting in a red tent, but they also share a lot with cultures around the world, such as women’s circles, educating women about patriarchies in the 60s and 70s and indigeneous practices where women have met in different communities in the world.”- Mary Ann Clements
Aisha Hannibal and Mary Ann Clements have just published a fabulous new book called “Red Tents - Unravelling our past and weaving our shared future”.
The book is about “red tents” - spaces for groups of women or people who don’t fit into the gender binary to drop their responsibilities for an hour or so and be fully listened to. The book is about how to set up a “red tent” that works and includes stories from over 70 people about their experiences in red tents.
Aisha and Mary Ann talk about why women and people outside the gender binary need red tents and what they have got out of belonging to a red tent themselves. They talk about the journey of writing the book and the huge benefits of writing the book together.
If you would like a signed copy of the book, please contact their publishers, Womancraft Publishing, at info@womancraftpublishing.com.

“On m’a diagnostiqué une sclérose en plaques le 28 septembre 2020, à 24 ans. J’étais journaliste et tout juste propriétaire d’un pavillon avec mon conjoint. J’ai eu l’impression que le ciel me tombait sur la tête. Tout était très lourd, la maladie en elle-même et tous les changements que cela impliquait dans ma vie. Mais au quotidien, ce sont les différents traitements et leurs effets secondaires qui ont été très compliqués à supporter. Des injections plusieurs fois par semaine, des symptômes grippaux, des marques sur le corps, une humeur changeante… Ils étaient nécessaires pour stopper la maladie et pourtant j’avais l’impression que ces traitements me rendaient plus malade encore.
Aujourd’hui, après 10 ans de maladie, de combat, de travail sur moi-même, de remise en questions et de changements, mes IRM sont stables. Mes deux neurologues m’ont donné le feu vert pour arrêter complètement mes traitements. » - Audrey Le Roux
Audrey Le Roux est cofondatrice d’Aurona, créateur de bien-être au travail (aurona.fr), formatrice et intervenante en Gestion du Stress en entreprise et milieu professionnel.
Audrey a été journaliste pendant 9 ans dans le domaine de la décoration. Elle a beaucoup souffert psychologiquement dans ce travail et a eu de très graves problèmes de santé : elle a développé une sclérose en plaques et a accouché à 7 mois de sa première fille, mettant leur vie en danger.
Après avoir été déclarée inapte par la médecine du travail considérant que l’entreprise pour laquelle elle travaillait était trop néfaste pour sa santé, Audrey a décidé de mettre son expérience au profit de ses clients. Aurona est ainsi née de toutes ces expériences et de cette envie d’aider les autres. Audrey est également certifiée en Gestion du stress, elle anime des formations en entreprise et accompagne individuellement sur des problématiques de travail.
Aujourd’hui, Audrey est convaincue que le stress a un impact très néfaste sur notre santé. Depuis qu’elle a trouvé sa voie et fait tout ce cheminement, sa santé n’a cessé de s’améliorer et elle a pu arrêter son traitement pour la sclérose en plaques en novembre dernier.

"Lucky for me, I have really, really grey hair. At about the age of 35, I decided to let my hair go completely grey. I would sit in the board room meetings with mainly men around the table and me in a more junior position and I'd watch their body language. Things like if you don't agree, you put your hands behind your head or your hands down on the table or sit back in your chair. And me and my grey hair walked in there. The body language and the colour of my hair gave me authenticity in male-dominated board rooms and groups. It really made a difference." - Dr. Sonia Marshall
Dr. Sonia Marshall grew up on a farm in north-west Queensland which is now Undara Volcanic National Park. It has the longest system of lava tubes in the world. As a result of her contact with the numerous scientists who came to study them, Sonia knew very early that she was going to work in environmental management.
She talks about the differences between “environmental interpretation” - a one-off engagement on a particular environmental subject - and “environmental psychology” - a framework for people’s immediate emotional responses in a particular situation.
She currently works in environment and sustainability policy on the Sunshine Coast and tells us about the main projects she has worked on, including the application to have the Sunshine Coast recognised by UNESCO as a biosphere.

“On some level I felt like there is a part of me that is in a new location, a new scene, a new set of lines but it’s life, it’s not fantasy.
I feel like this is where I’m meant to be. I’ve always felt like I’m on a journey to somewhere but I don’t think I’ve felt as at home anywhere else I’ve been than where I am now. It just makes sense.” - Harriet Spalding
Harriet Spalding has had an amazing life and admits that was largely due to the lottery of being raised by extraordinary parents.
Her mother, Barbara did her final school exams in a sanatorium, suspected of having TB in the early 1950’s, and came top of the state. She went on to run the Victorian Council of Social Services (VCOSS), The Victorian Institute of Secondary Education (VISE), multiple State and Federal philanthropical organizations and culminated her career by working for the World Health Organization. She was awarded an Order of Australia in 2018 at the age of 80.
Her father, after completing 2 degrees simultaneously at Melbourne University, hitchhiked around Australia in the late 50s and then travelled again in the early 60’s to every single Aboriginal mission. One of the few people to ever have made the journey. He returned to Melbourne and quietly dedicated the remainder of his life advocating for the importance of acknowledging the ’true' condition of Aboriginal Australians and the misrepresentation of their history in educational texts. His expansive experiences on the road in Australian Aboriginal communities and his subsequent involvement in the Overseas Service Bureau aka Community Aid Abroad meant Harriet and her sisters were exposed to a diverse community of his ‘ friends’ during their formative years.
Harriet studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney, then went to the US, Mexico and Canada to work as an assistant director on international film and television productions. She then worked with the formidable Australian Producer, Andrew Mason (The Matrix Trilogies and The Crow) to assist on International co-productions in locations such as Romania and France.
She lived in Aspen Colorado for over 20 years and started to teach yoga there. She still teaches one or two classes a day. She was asked to teach yoga in Arles in the south of France, which is where she now lives.
She talks about her love for the cultural and historical richness that exists in Arles and on life en Camargue, where she rides horses with the Guardians and the people trying to hold on to their deep love of traditions and customs unique to this region of the world.
Harriet is the creator of “La Belle Vie Project”, a hospitality program for people who need time and space to work creatively:

“Je m’adresse à toutes les femmes issues de pays en voie de développement, que ce soit des femmes africaines, que ce soit des femmes asiatiques, même celles dans des pays développés : nombreuses femmes sont encore lourdement privées de leurs droits les plus basiques aujourd’hui.
Mais une femme qui a décidé, une femme qui est convaincue, une femme qui a confiance en elle, est inarrêtable. Elle devient une machine de guerre ; elle devient une machine à succès, elle devient une machine à convictions et à changements !”- Romy Voos Andrianarisoa
Cet entretien est à écouter et à réécouter sans modération. Romy Voos Andrianarisoa est une inspiration pour tout le monde par l’énergie, l’enthousiasme et l’optimisme qu’elle dégage. Elle exprime l'espoir d'une nouvelle génération qui doit passer par le travail acharné, l'amour du pays et l'engagement des femmes.
Après avoir quitté Madagascar à l'âge de huit ans pour vivre à l’étranger, Romy a fait quelques tentatives de retour, avant de revenir il y a quatre ans, avec époux et enfants, pour se consacrer au changement dans son pays d’origine. Elle est convaincue que les femmes doivent et peuvent être de réels moteurs de ce changement. Depuis 4 ans maintenant, et malgré les barrières qu'elle affronte chaque jour, elle se donne pleinement et sans répit pour ce pays qu’elle aime tellement.
Ses trois axes de travail principaux sont le développement durable, la lutte contre la pauvreté avec un focus particulier sur des femmes et des enfants en situation de vulnérabilité, et particulièrement les enfants en situation de handicap, et enfin, l'engagement des femmes sur tous les aspects où le changement est nécessaire et possible.
Écoutez son témoignage : vous y apprendrez peut-être qu'à Madagascar, on continue à vivre chaque jour, chaque heure et chaque minute avec la violence physique et morale faite aux femmes, les viols, les différentes formes d'agression et tout cela sous le silence de l'acceptation culturelle, familiale et morale. Vous y apprendrez aussi que les personnes en situation de handicap sont maudites. Et pire, dans une localité enclavée du pays : une croyance ancestrale veut qu’un jumeau sur deux soit tué à la naissance pour contourner les malédictions !
Nous parlons de comment changer les mentalités dans un pays ou plus de la moitié de la population n’a pas accès à l'électricité, plus d'un million de personnes meurent tristement et en silence, de faim chaque année. Mais on parle surtout de comment les malgaches restent joyeux, plein d'espoir et résilient dans ce contexte de vie pas très tendre.
Cet entretien est lancé ce 10 avril car aujourd'hui, Romy assume une nouvelle et belle casquette : elle est intronisée en tant que marraine pour le centre Sembana Mijoro (Centre d’accueil et d’hébergement pour enfants et ados handicapés) pour l’année 2021 (http://www.csm-mada.mg/)
Pour plus d’informations sur Miaro Madagascar, l’association créée par Romy pour lutter contre la pauvreté, et en particulier la pauvreté des femmes et enfants en situation de grande vulnérabilité : https://www.facebook.com/miaromadagascar/

“Quand je pense à l’intimité de la naissance, je pense à la communauté des éléphants. Quand une femelle éléphant met bas, il y a toute une communauté d’éléphants qui l’entoure pour la protéger et pour la laisser son intimité pour qu’elle puisse vivre et arriver dans les profondeurs de cette naissance la mère - car c’est la naissance d’un enfant mais aussi la naissance d’une mère.” - Aurélie Cros
Aurélie Cros est praticienne ayurvédique et yoga doula. Toute petite, Aurélie était fascinée par la naissance - elle jouait aux naissances pendant son enfance. Elle avait également tout un monde imaginaire peuplé d’esprits qui la protéger de son quotidien difficile. Elle nous parle de son chemin pour devenir praticienne ayurvédique et yoga doula. Aujourd’hui, en soignant les autres, elle soigne les douleurs de sa propre naissance et de son enfance.
“Doula” est un mot grec qui veut dire “au service de”. Aurélie explique ce qu’est un yoga doula et son rôle dans l’accouchement, par rapport aux parents et au corps médical.

Katherine is the senior curator at Manly Art Gallery & Museum in Sydney. We talk about what it takes to become a curator and dig deep into the role.
We talk about how the gallery combines art with other disciplines, including science and social issues, such as:
- “Refugee Art Project” where the work of four high profile artists/advocates will sit alongside work by newly arrived refugees connected with Settlement Services International in Sydney, and
- “Manly Dam Project” where eight artists were inspired by the water projects of engineers working in a world-class laboratory below Manly Dam.
We talk about the creation of community around regional galleries and how the community has become even more engaged in art and culture since lockdown.
Katherine shares her views on the challenges faced by mothers to make it in the art world.

“Etre une femme prof, ça pouvait être bien ou pas bien. Ca dépendait de la vision de la femme de mes élèves. S’ils étaient entourés de femmes avec un petit peu de caractère, ils pouvaient l’accepter. Mais ça m’est déjà arrivé d’être en face des élèves hommes qui n’acceptait pas qu’une femme leur dise quoi faire.
Après, il y a la question de toutes les femmes, le fait d’être regardée, dévisagée, quelle tenue on met. Pendant toute ma carrière, ça a joué.” - Cécile Marcenac
Cécile parle de son expérience de prof dans les banlieues compliquées de Paris. Elle parle de la violence entre les élèves, de son besoin de soutien des autres profs, de quelques élèves très volontaires qui ont bien réussi et de la naissance prématurée de son fils.
Elle parle de la dernière évolution de la profession de professeur qui favorise le présentéisme et défavorise fortement les femmes qui doivent rentrer à la maison pour s’occuper des enfants.
Elle parle du lancement de son activité de coaching d’orientation - le coaching individuel, des ateliers d’orientation et des ateliers Ikigaï - et tout ce qui lui plaît dans ce métier.

“Things deteriorated badly when Liam was about 15, when he hit puberty. He’d always been pretty strong and reasonably tall but he was very soon stronger than me and very determined. Once he hit about 15, things got really dangerous and we saw an escalation in behaviour that led to a lot of aggression. Scratching, biting, kicking, throwing objects. He threw a steak knife at his brother once. He threw a drink bottle in my face, great big black eye, it was the week I started a new job in a five star hotel, it was great. Put the makeup on.” - Selina Spowart
This is an incredible story.
Selina Spowart has three boys. Her eldest son has Tuberous Sclerosis, a rare neurological disorder, autism and epilepsy. Her third son is also on the autism spectrum.
Selina talks us through what it was like to come to terms with the fact that her child had a serious and lifelong disability. She talks about homeschooling, depression and suicidal thoughts and the terrifying adolescent violence in the home. She talks about the hidden costs to parents and carers of children with disabilities.
As she herself says, she was pushed beyond what anyone should reasonably be expected to deal with.
But she also talks about the good times and how her humour kept her going. She used to ring her sister and say: “Tell me about someone who has it worse than me.”
She has come out of it resilient and is now working to help other people caring for children with disabilities.
Her final message is so terribly important: she encourages women who are threatened by their children and who might feel ashamed about how violent their home life is to talk to someone, anyone, because they aren’t alone.

“Le Hatha Yoga est une approche du corps très ancienne qui a évolué au fil des transmissions. C’est avant tout une philosophie millénaire que l’on découvre par l’étude des textes. Pourtant les questions qui se posaient sont les mêmes qui se posent encore aujourd’hui. Les manières d’y répondre par le hatha yoga sont toujours d’actualité et la pratique est complètement cohérente et intégrable dans notre vie d’aujourd’hui.” - Annick Bergdoll
Comme beaucoup, Annick a eu une éducation basée sur “il faut”. Elle a été attirée par le yoga où il n’y a pas de “il faut” - on fait avec ce qu’il y a au moment présent.
Annick parle d’Yvonne Millerand, la mère de sa professeur de yoga, Béatrice Millerand-Bouchillou, et comment Yvonne Millerand, après avoir reçu l’enseignement de Sri T. Krishnamacharya en Inde, a participé à la création de l’Ecole Française de Yoga et au lancement du mouvement du yoga à Paris.
Elle parle de ce qui l’attire dans le hatha yoga et son chemin pour devenir professeur de cette discipline.
Elle parle de ce que les textes indiens nous apportent et comment ils nous aident à répondre à nos questions telles que : comment se libérer des tourbillons du mental, quel est l’acte juste dans notre quotidien ?
Elle évoque comment le yoga a changé sa vie, ce qu’elle apprécie dans cette discipline et tous les aspects du yoga qu’elle a découverts.

“We started off by focusing on teaching kids how to code, and we realised we were only attracting the usual suspects - little boys. Hardly any girls, hardly any kids of colour. So we started introducing class discussions about technology. Bing. All of a sudden, girls were more interested. We talk about the consequences and implications of technology, ethics or the right and wrong way that tech is being used, how humans and robots are working together. Typically, the girls love this part of class. When we started it was about 85% - 90% boys but we’re almost at parity now just because we teach in a very different way.” - Deborah Carter
Deborah Carter is Canadian and lives in The Netherlands. In 2014, she created NewTechKids because she wanted her son and other children to have a place where they could fall in love with technology and computer science and learn how to be innovators and inventors. Last summer, she launched a new initiative, PreparationTech in order to showcase the stories of a diverse and inclusive group of students, tradespeople and professionals whose work intersects with technology in order to help kids understand that they will need tech knowledge and skills, no matter what study or career path they choose.
When Deborah says “tech”, she means digital technology, internet technology and robotics. She is passionate about teaching kids how to think about technology and the logic of technology and to see tech as a problem-solving and creativity tool.
Not only is Deborah passionate about tech, she is also passionate about teaching. She shares some great tips about how NewTechKids has adapted its teaching methods to ensure that it is interesting for everyone.
She talks about the interviews she has done for Preparation Tech, including her interview with Arlan Hamilton who founded a venture capital firm (while homeless) which funds startups led by women and people of colour and Pablos Holman, one of the most famous hackers in the world.

“I'm particularly drawn to telling the stories of women who have been unjustly forgotten by history. Many of my historical novels are bibliographic fiction. I tell the lives of women who once really lived and who have been unfairly ignored, whose voices have been silenced, whose achievements have been lost.” - Kate Forsyth
Dr Kate Forsyth is an internationally recognised author and poet. She has published 45 books, including historical novels, children’s books and books of poetry. She has won numerous awards for her work, including the Australian Aurealis Award for Excellence in Speculative Fiction (five times) and the American Library Association Prize for her best-known novel, “Bitter Greens”. Her latest book, “Searching for Charlotte” about her ancestor, Charlotte Waring Atkinson, co-authored with her sister, Belinda Murrell, has been shortlisted for the Australian Indies Prize for Non-Fiction.
Kate talks about her journey in becoming a writer, the evolution of her creative process, the fights she had with her mother about becoming a professional writer, the reality of being a writer and a wife and mother, and how she and her sister organised themselves in writing “Searching for Charlotte”.
Kate historical fiction is about women who have been written out of history. She talks about some of the most striking of these, including the woman who was the creator of many of the Grimms fairy tales.
The interview finishes with one of the most beautiful, moving calls I have ever heard to have the courage to do what we love. For the record: this interview implies that my parents forced me into a career that was not right for me. This was not the case. They have been ever-supporting and ever-encouraging.

Brave New Women avec Cecilia Poullain“Comment se construire en tant que femme ? Quand on n’est pas reconnu comme un être sexué, quand on n’a pas accès à l’autre, quand on n’est pas à égalité, quand on a des difficultés à se déplacer, d’avoir accès aux lieux de rencontres, c’est une problématique. Quand on pense qu’une personne en situation de handicap ne peut pas avoir une vie intime.”- Ivanka Guillaume
Ivanka Guillaume est d’origine guadeloupéenne. A l’âge de 3 ans, une maladie l'a rendue paraplégique. Elle a grandi en banlieue parisienne où elle a été élevée par sa tante et son oncle car c’était trop difficile pour sa mère célébataire de s’occuper d’un enfant en fauteuil-roulant.
Elle est diplômée d'un master en études japonaises. Aujourd'hui, elle étudie à l'université métropolitaine de Tokyo grâce à une bourse d’excellence du gouvernement japonais. Elle se penche sur les mouvements de personnes en situation de handicap et surtout l'expérience particulière des femmes.
Elle parle de ses recherches et notamment des 16.000 stérilisations sans consentement réalisées sous la loi eugénique japonaise d'après-guerre et qui était en place jusqu’en 1996,
Elle parle de la réalité d’être en fauteuil roulant et l’isolation que ça peut induire. Par exemple, si une voiture est garée sur le trottoir, une personne en fauteuil roulant ne peut même pas arriver à l’arrêt de bus pour se rendre à une soirée, et ce n’est que la première étape.
Elle parle de la difficulté d’être vu comme “personne” lorsqu’on est en chaise roulante.
Ivanka est étonnante par son intelligence, sa lucidité et son honnêteté désarmante.

“Today more than ever we have a responsibility to help build a world in which every human being matters. A world where we all see each other, listen to each other and live with a deeper sense of connection and authenticity.” - Neha Broota
Neha Broota started her cadetship at one of the big four accounting firms at the age of 17. She was a star student and had a brilliant career ahead of her. But by the time she was 23, she felt that something was missing. So she took time off and went to work in the slums of Mumbai. This was both a humbling experience and a turning point. When her time in Mumbai was over, she went back to KPMG, but knew that her goal had now changed.
Since then, Neha has worked in international development foundations in the UK and India, and today is an Associate Director at Social Ventures Australia.
This is the first of two interviews with Neha. In the second interview, we will dig more deeply into her spiritual journey and her involvement with the revolutionary Chinmaya University in India.

Brave New Women hosted by Cecilia Poullain
Amidst the trauma and sorrow of the end of her thirty-year marriage in Sydney, Susi Prescott’s wild imagination did not lie idle for long. Four children now adult and independent, no husband around any more . . . she could now venture out into the world to follow some dreams, and perhaps even make a difference! But . . . did she dare?
Still unsure, she went trekking with friends in Peru where, on a freezing day, high up in the Andes, a tiny, shivering child changed her life forever. She decided that, somehow, she would return to use her skills to help in whatever way she could.
After short periods teaching in Nepal and then Rwanda, she returned to the town of Arequipa, in Peru. Although she had given up her job, home and life in Australia, she had little idea how her vision would unfold if, indeed, at all.
Susi relates how serendipity led her to a struggling school, Colegio Elohim, in the desert squatter settlements surrounding the town. She describes the work that she did there, the living conditions endured by the children and some of the best and the worst moments she experienced. Having intended to stay for a year, she ended up spending twelve, working in the dusty slums, where seventy percent of the population of Arequipa eke out an existence.
Talking to Susi left me with vivid images of valleys filled with refuse, families living in stone shacks with dirt floors, violence, snow-capped volcanoes . . . and two women - Susi and Rosa, the school’s director - giving their all to help students and families alike. Unforgettably, 250 children putting their arms around Susi’s neck to wish her happy birthday. And the joy and passion of the Latin culture which permeates every level of society - its flamboyance, its irresistible music and most especially for Susi, its exuberant dance.
They managed to begin a secondary school. Of the first (and only) graduation year of nine last year, three (all girls) have already applied for university, with possibly more coming later. An amazing achievement, particularly in that terrible year of Covid lockdown. Although the secondary school has not survived due to lack of funds, Susi radiates with the satisfaction that at least these nine adolescents have brighter prospects for the future.
Susi’s memoir of her time in Peru, “Where Hummingbirds Dance”, was published in 2017. Her second book, “Beyond the Priest’s Cottage”, about her origins, was published in 2020. The books, together with more information on the project, are available on her website at www.susiprescott.com and all proceeds generated by sales go to Colegio Elohim.

Françoise Mar est bénévole aux Chouettes - Solidarité femmes du Diois. Dans cette association d'une vingtaine d'adhérentes, trois (bientôt quatre) accompagnantes se démènent, avec un budget annuel de 200 €. Non, pas d'erreur, 200 €.
Heureusement on ne parle plus de "femmes battues" ! Françoise explique que derrière le vocable “violence” se cachent la violence physique mais aussi les autres, souvent associées, pas toujours identifiées comme telles par les femmes : la violence psychologique, sexuelle, économiques, cybernétique… Selon les chiffres de l’OMS, cette violence affecte une femme sur quatre en France et une femme sur trois dans le monde. Les conséquences des violences sur la santé psychique et physique des femmes sont majeures. "A quand un questionnement systématique sur les violences par le médecin généraliste ?" demande Françoise.
Les Chouettes accompagnent surtout des femmes dans des situations post-conjugales. La séparation est souvent difficile et dangereuse pour une femme qui vivait sous l'emprise d'un compagnon violent : après avoir quitté son conjoint, les menaces, le harcèlement et la surveillance peuvent continuer.
Françoise explique comment elle a commencé à travailler avec les femmes victimes de violence. Elle parle des origines de ces violences - une question de domination des hommes sur les femmes. Elle dit : “Quand un homme laisse un oeil au beurre noir à une femme, il veut sa docilité. Il veut être obéi.” Elle décrit comment une relation se dégrade après la lune de miel et comment s’installe une spirale de la violence, tandis que la femme immanquablement se sent responsable et coupable de l’ambiance à la maison.
Françoise évoque le manque criant de ressources pour que les femmes et leurs enfants se reconstruisent et pour que les hommes violents soient accompagnés. Il est encore rare d’obtenir justice constate-t-elle, l'impunité des agresseurs est la règle.

Isabelle a toujours suivi son instinct. Majeure de sa promotion pour être assistante sociale, elle a décidé de ne jamais exercer cette profession. Elle a démarré dans la communication le lendemain, bien qu'elle n’eût aucune formation dans cette profession. De toutes ses expériences professionnelles, heureuses et moins heureuses, elle a toujours appris quelque chose. Mais il fallait toucher le fond pour pouvoir trouver ce dont elle était vraiment : la fille des carnets.
Aujourd'hui, Isabelle crée des carnets pour nous inciter à écrire. Les carnets sont élégants, sobres, créatifs, juste ce qu'il faut pour nous faire rêver.

When Rosalie Dillon-Sinclair was told that her eight-month old baby, Ella, had cystic fibrosis, she hit rock bottom. But once she came to terms with it, she made a decision that she was going to do everything she could, not only for Ella but for both her children. She followed all the protocols to the letter and was active in having Ella meet Taylor Swift, a turning point in Ella's life. Despite the life-threatening disease, and thanks to Rosalie's wonderful parenting, Ella shines academically and is a wonderful singer, dancer and actor.
Their story will make your heart sing.

Felicity Wade has been campaigning for the environment for close on thirty years. She talks about the heady times of leading the Wilderness Society of NSW, Australia in her twenties, without realising just how tough it was to be in the public eye and carry the organisation. She talks of how her role has changed from saving forests to saving the world, a very different remit from what she signed up for initially. She tells the story of how, as the National Convenor of the environment and climate change lobby (LEAN) within the Australian Labor Party, she and others went out to dusty town halls all across Australia to talk about climate change and as a result, completely turned around Labor Party policy on the issue.
I came out of the interview with huge admiration for her ability to just keep fighting for what she believes in and so grateful for people like her who carry the hard work of fighting for the environment for the rest of us.

Clarisse Hagège, CEO of Xkey, a block-chain company, asks: “is that where the energy is?” rather than “can I do it?” She doesn’t let anything stop her.
“You hear: “we want companies with women CEOs in our portfolio” so I thought I was in such a nice position - woman, CEO, blockchain - but there is definitely a discrepancy between what you hear and the reality. The COO and I both sent out exactly the same email to investors. But he had more people responding to him than I did.”

Brave New Women hosted by Cecilia PoullainJan Roberts talks about why she became a historian and her focus on the incredibly important work of bringing women back into history.
Jan talks about one of her most important books: "Maybanke Anderson: Sex, Suffrage and Social Reform". Maybanke was a driving force in the fight for Federation and the vote for women in Australia, but doesn't appear in the history books. Jan's work redresses this wrong.
She also talks about her mother's extraordinary life as a wife in Papua New Guinea and how this inspired her to interview other Australian women and children who had had the same experience. She was driven to get the stories right, in memory of the women who had confided their stories in her. Jan knew that once these women died, the stories would be gone. Her interviews are captured in her book: "Voices from a Lost World: Australian Women and Children in Papua New Guinea before the Japanese Invasion".
Jan's books include:
- Remembering Avalon
- Avalon Landscape and Harmony
- Maybanke Anderson: Sex, suffrage and social reform
- Maybanke, A Woman’s Voice
- The Astor
- Voices from a Lost World - Australian Women and Children in Papua New Guinea Before the Japanese Invasion
Please contact me via Linkedin if you are interested in buying any of these books.

Brave New Women hosted by Cecilia PoullainMaria Cristina is currently working as a climate scientist at Winrock in Washington D.C.
She shares her journey in becoming a climate scientist later in life.
As a tiny child, Maria Cristina lived with her grandparents on their farm in Ecuador. This had a big impact on her life: they taught her to love nature and to take care of it.
When she left school, she studied social development in Quito then did a whole series of jobs, including working with the children of prostitutes in the middle of Quito and teaching English to professionals.
She left Ecuador soon after she graduated in order to avoid the social pressure of getting married and because she wanted to see the world.
Her first job following graduation was with the children of Central American immigrants in San Francisco. This opened her eyes to the harsh reality of their lives and set her on a search to discover why the world was so unfair. She then did a Masters degree on Sustainable Development in Peace and Conflict Studies at the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica. The contact with people from all over the world expanded her mind even further. She also started comparing Costa Rica, where people and the environment were a priority, and Ecuador, where oil money had led to corruption and the concentration of wealth in a few hands.
She talks about her time in working with the US Peace Corps and Global Citizen Year, setting up volunteer programs for young US citizens to work with the indigenous people of Ecuador.
All these experiences convinced her to become a climate scientist.
You will love listening to Maria-Cristina. Her enthusiasm, curiosity, humour and overwhelming desire to serve are infectious.

When Erin was serving as an environmental volunteer with the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic, she realised that conservation starts with people. So she did a Masters of Science in Conservation Leadership with a focus on human dimensions and is now a Project Manager at Colorado State University’s Center for Protected Area Management. The Center trains park rangers in Latin America and across the world.
Some national parks throughout the world have very limited human and financial resources to deal with the complex challenges they face. Park rangers, the men and women on the front lines of conservation, often work tirelessly to resolve these complex challenges with very little support. By giving them hard and soft skills they need and fostering a support network, the Center aims on giving them hope to succeed in the often dangerous and difficult task of protecting our planet.
Erin talks about the particular challenges faced by women park rangers and how the Center has adapted its programmes to support them.
She is a model of someone who lives to serve the greater good.

For over 20 years, Caetlin Jopson provided medical care to the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural, remote and urban areas. She also worked with the Royal Flying Doctor Service for over 7 years delivering women’s health to remote communities.
Caetlin trained at Sydney University and has a Diploma in Tropical Medicine, a Master’s in Public Health and Tropical medicine and FRACGP. She is currently studying a Post graduate certificate in Travel medicine and is passionate about tropical medicine.
She gives us a short history of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people then shares her story of how she started working with these people and how her eyes were opened on racism in Australia and indeed her own, unconscious racism.
She discusses how the physical and mental health of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has been infused by trans-generational trauma and the particularities of working with them.
Because of the poor health of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, she has had to deal with a very wide range of medical conditions, often with very little support. Despite this, her peers saw her as a lesser doctor - and a lesser person. She considers it an honor to work with these people.
Caetlin's enthusiasm and desire to learn are irrepressible and her care for this community is evident in every word she says.

Donna Lawler and her husband, Steven Freeland are probably the world's only space law couple.
Donna tells us about what a space lawyer does every day and discusses some of the major issues that are being discussed in relation to space such as the discovering of billions of tonnes of water on the moon, discussions around use and extraction of resources on the moon and asteroids and elsewhere in space, how to keep space peaceful, the management of debris and traffic in space.
She talks about the exponential growth in how satellites are being used, both good and bad.
We touch on the environmental impact of the space race and some of the initiative technologies to reduce the carbon impact of launching satellites.
She talks about the realities of running her own business after many years working for a corporation.

Kathryn Brimblecombe-Fox is an academic and a visual artist with long-term interests in cosmology, landscape and existential risk posed by militarised technologies. She is currently a PhD student at Curtin University, Western Australia, having completed her Master of Philosophy at the University of Queensland in 2017 with her thesis, "Drones and Night Vision: Militarised Technology in Paintings by George Gittoes and Jon Cattapan".
Kathryn is an extraordinary example of someone who combines influences from both her parents. Her mother, Elsie Brimblecombe, is an academic, writer and painter (and has also been interviewed for Brave New Women) and her father was a reclusive grain grower in western Queensland. While a farmer, Kathryn’s father was also a keen amateur radio operator, a HAM. In the early 1960s he built their first television set on the dining room table and, in a small way, participated in the space race as one of the HAMs around the world who helped track Sputnik 1 for the Jet Propulsion Unit in the US.
Our discussion ranged from the impact of growing up in the vast landscape of western Queensland, on her vision of the world, the influences of her parents and her grandmother, creativity, the role of art in triggering questions, and the current state of the debate on existentialism.
We finish with a far more down-to-earth discussion about the reality of being a single mother bringing up three girls and just how tough it was.

Camilla Borrevik, a Norwegian anthropologist working with the small Pacific Island states on climate change, talks about different styles of communication in climate change negotiations.
She discusses the Pacific Island style of communication and ways of sharing knowledge, which involves respect, sharing and stories, and how the Fijian presidency of COP 23 allowed people to connect on a completely different level. As one journalist put it: "Finally, negotiators are talking like people".
She compares this to the typical, bureaucratic style of communication and interaction that is usually found in climate change conferences, to the difficulties she has had as a young woman in expressing herself at international events and also to her experience of academia, where criticism and questioning of research can bring people down rather than building them up.
If you would like to know more, Camilla's PhD has been published under the title: " 'We started climate change': A Multi-level ethnography of Pacific Climate Leadership".

Kate Dennis, TV and film director was nominated in 2017 for an Emmy® for Outstanding Director for a Drama Series for her episode of the Handmaid’s Tale, ‘The Bridge’ . She talks about why filming The Bridge was so hard to pull off and why it was so special. She talks about how she became a director. She talks about the nitty-gritty of being a director and her current film projects which are adaptations of "Almost French" by Sarah Turnbull and "All That I Am" by Anna Funder. We talk about her interest in telling stories about human tolerance and the human condition through a more intimate lens. We deep-dive into what it means to listen and how time stops us from understanding others as much as we would like.
She talks about being a woman in the film industry when she first started and it was very male-dominated and now, when being a woman is an advantage.
Kate Dennis has set up seven television dramas in the US, UK and Australia including Offspring which ran for seven seasons, garnering over 40 awards and nominations.
Her episodic work in the US traverses comedy and drama and includes: The Handmaid’s Tale; GLOW; The Tick; Heathers; Strange Angel; Krypton; Damnation; I’m Dying Up Here; The Mindy Project; Preacher; Turn: Washington’s Spies; Fear The Walking Dead; Sleepy Hollow and Suits.

Blanca talks about her role as a carbon scientist in measuring carbon cycles and their role in ecosystems.
Blanca was selected in the 4th cohort of the Homeward Bound program along with 99 other STEMM women. The program's slogan is "Mother Nature Needs her Daughters". It is a 10 year program with the aim of preparing 1000 women to take on leadership roles in protecting the planet. As part of the program, the women spent a month in Antartica.
She discusses the voyage to Antarctica and the outputs of the program, including a proposal to protect Antarctica and a book for children: "The Secret Life of Viruses". She also shares how the program made her force herself to overcome her shyness in order to speak up about the things that are important to her.
She talks about the difficulties of her life as a woman in science, a male-dominated environment, and the brutality of academia as a profession for both women and men.
"The Secret Life of Viruses" is available at: https://www.ellaslideran.cc/la-vida-secreta-de-los-virus?lang=en

Brave New Women hosted by Cecilia PoullainElla Etienne-Denoy, the CEO of Green Soluce, shows us the power of bringing together the public and private sectors in the fight against climate change.
Ella's father is a French diplomat and her mother is Australian. She talks about her childhood, with postings to Belgium, Australia and Germany, and how she needed to adapt to different languages and different school systems. After finishing school, she did a double degree at both a French management school, ESSEC, and in Germany, and was already interested in strategy, innovation management and sustainability.
When she finished her studies, she thought she was going to work for a large corporation in Germany, but decided to join an entrepreneurial venture: Green Soluce, a start-up in France. She talks about how she developed a vision for Green Soluce and just kept on raising it until it was accepted by the investors and she was made CEO of the company.
She talks about the highs and lows of being the CEO of a growing company - the long hours and the worry about cash and paying the salaries of 20+ people, but also the freedom and the excitement of seeing her projects come to fruition.
She gives us an outline of Green Soluce's work in bringing sustainability into real estate and urban projects and talks through some of their most important projects.
Green Soluce can be found at: https://www.greensoluce.com/

Agnès Giraud-Passot, biographe, raconte des histoires de vie. Elle écrit des livres qui serviront de repères pour les générations futures. Elle nous parle des atouts de l’écriture. Elle explique le chemin qu’elle a parcouru pour parvenir au métier de biographe, une activité humaine passionnante qui mérite de sortir de l’ombre. Elle évoque la diversité des livres qu’elle a réalisés, de la biographie personnelle tirée à trois exemplaires, au roman familial ou professionnel imprimé en plusieurs centaines d’exemplaires. Elle expose les différentes étapes du déroulement d’une biographie.
Les objectifs de la biographie sont multiples mais ils s’articulent toujours autour de la transmission et du regard sur l’évolution de la société.
La biographie est un objet de patrimoine qui réveille la mémoire et suscite de grandes émotions. Son écriture a un pouvoir révélateur et libérateur et sa lecture procure un vrai bonheur.
Le site web de Agnès est : http://agp-biographe.com/

Brave New Women with Cecilia Poullain
Dr. Sonia Marshall's story is incredibly moving. She shares the reality of having a child with cystic fibrosis, the heart-rending decision about having another child, her marriage break-up, bringing up her two girls as a single mother while working full time and part time and her long, hard fight to have a new drug for cystic fibrosis paid for by the State. Her determination and resilience are a model for us all.
