Women, language & experience

In a special programme looking ahead to International Women’s Day on March 8th, Shahidha Bari looks at how women express themselves in language, argument, poetry and art. Her guests include:

Sara Ahmed is the author of No is Not a Lonely Utterance
Karen McCarthy Woolf's latest poetry collection is called Unsafe
Lauren Elkin's books include Art Monsters: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art. She translated Simone de Beauvoir's previously unpublished novel The Inseparables and has a new book coming out in May, Vocal Break: On Women, Music, and Power. She has been reading the new translation by Sophie Lewis of Angst by the French feminist thinker Hélène Cixous.
