S6 E15 Elif Shafak: Global Superstar

The problem with Elif Shafak is that she is too acclaimed, her work too numerous and celebrated, and her personal cause too elevated to begin to capture in one limited introduction. You will no doubt own at least one of her 13 books, in at least one of the 57 languages they've been translated into. You may also be eagerly awaiting the April paperback of There Are Rivers In The Sky. But you might not have heard her talk about the vast range of emotional topics this convo covers; from grief to otherness to sisterhood. So here's your chance.We are so excited to bring you the woman who is quite simply a walking wonder, and we can't wait for you to benefit from her words of infinite wisdom...JOIN CLUB WAM ON PATREONBUY JEN'S TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Here at WAM, our mission is Making Feelings Fashionable.For all time, women have been called hysterical, crazy and 'over' emotional. We teach you that your emotions are in fact your superpower. Starting from the launchpad of anger, the most taboo of feelings for women. Each week, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox and writer Salima Saxton invite a brilliant woman to talk about what makes them mad, and come to understand that our feelings are our compass and rocket fuel. With the Women Are Mad podcast, women finally have a space to laugh about, celebrate and learn from their previously unpopular feelings.Follow us on @womenaremad on Instagram and tell us what makes you mad.Jen's book, Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage Is Hiding And How To Let It Out is AVAILABLE NOW! Published by Bonnier and available from all booksellers. On pre-order in the US.patreon.com/WomenAreMad Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
