The women featured – which include Molly Parkin, Bonnie Greer, Pauline Black, Amanda Fielding, Cosey Fanni Tutti and Pamela Des Barres – have written erotic novels, campaigned for the medical benefits of recreational drugs, and partied in all of London’s most debauched places during a time where women were not expected to do so.
Produced by an all-female team, and with stories of late-night escapades, protests and other thrills, the podcast shines a light on women who have been fearless, maverick and controversial.
