Feminist Futures

By: Wallis Grant
  • Summary

  • Feminism imagines a better future for the world - one where power is shared equally and people are not discriminated against for being who they are. But as an individual, the path to getting there can often seem unclear or overwhelming. Whose policies are going to tackle the climate crisis best? Who should I be lobbying to improve abortion access? How can I help get better pay for carers? In this podcast series hosted by Wallis Grant, Feminist Futures explores not just what we want the future to look like but how we get there and what we can do to drive forward change. Exploring a different topic each week, with the help of experts from each field, this podcast will show how we can achieve a more equal and liberated society, one step after another.

  • Ep 14.Women in Politics
    Apr 1 2023

    Happy April! The Feminist Futures team are back and this month, we're discussing women in politics.

    Given the recent resignations of Jacinda Arden and Nicola Sturgeon, women's life and role in politics is having a light shown on it so we thought we'd dive into what the barriers are, why women may be better leaders than men and what nuclear weapons can tell us about women's leadership.

    Stay tuned for the end where Wallis gives a sneak peak into her manifesto for running for office.

    Thanks for tuning in!
