From suffragettes to the politics of #MeToo, Anna-Marie Crowhurst celebrates 21st century activism reclaimed by a new generation, but asks: why are some people still so upset about equality for women?

Now being a writer – the question people ask next. ‘What are you writing?’ My new book, Badly Behaved Women, is a cultural history of modern feminism.

I’m 53, But People Think I’m in My 30s–Here Are the Products I Swear By

My mum and I discuss everything, and that goes tenfold on the topic of skincare. She's one of the most product obsessed people I know; if it's available to buy, chances are she's tried it. It hasn't always been this way though—her intense skincare obsession started about ten years ago, growing from a novelty interest in Youtube beauty videos to full-fledged enthusiasm combing through hundreds of product reviews online.As she tells me, her carefully curated nine-step skincare routine has been years in the making, testing and recalibrating every step until finding that one formula that doesn't break her out or exaggerate her hyperpigmentation.
