For 70 years, the guests of Woman’s Hour have entertained listeners with a compelling combination of wit, warmth, insight and humour. Here is a collection of quotes and extracts from Nora Ephron, Enid Blyton, Bette Davis, Meryl Streep, Margaret Thatcher, and many more, exploring the political and social revolution which has taken place in women’s lives, and covering perennial aspects of female life such as family, relationships, love, sex, the workplace, ageing and food.
