The Women’s Room by Marilyn French, was described as “a novel that changes lives” when it was published in 1977. It sold 20 million copies worldwide and quickly became a classic of the women’s movement.
As Woman’s Hour starts a new dramatisation of this provocative work, Jenni discusses the impact of The Women’s Room when it was published, and its relevance to women today. She’s joined by the writers Fay Weldon and Jill Dawson.
