Description

In our final episode for 2022, Amal, Mel, Susan, and Michelle reflect on a concept that drives us to distraction. The Queen Bee syndrome! Warning listeners, we get a little bit sweary in this episode because we've been trying to manage the double bind and double standards that women face for decades. We ask, are you on the women's team or not? We also muse upon the 4-day working week trials that are happening across the world as we're uncertain if a gender lens has been applied and wonder if women will be better off or worse off.
