This week Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards are bring their favourites to the table, and they are joined by Future Women favourite Madison Howarth.
Chapter 1: Everyone brought memoir this week! So to kick off the episode, Jamila, Astrid and Madi reflect on how memoir has changed over the last decade (for the better, as we are seeing fewer formal autobiographies and more stories of lived experience being published).
Chapter 2: Jamila suggests reading 'All About Yves: Notes from a transition' by Yves Rees.
Chapter 3: Astrid still wants everyone to read anything by Claire G. Coleman, and in this episode discusses Claire's first non-fiction book 'Lies Damned Lies: A personal exploration of the impact of colonisation'.
Recommendations: Jamila recommends Maxine Beneba Clarke's memoir 'The Hate Race', as well as 'Mao's Last Dancer' by Li Cunxin. Madi recommends 'Dark Emu' by Bruce Pascoe, as well as 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' by Maya Angelou.
Join us on Thursday for an interview with satirist Mark Humphries.
