Feminist, activist, crime author, novelist and Mother – Margie Orford wears many hats and joins Sam Herbst in studio to chat about her memoir, Love & Fury.
This is a book that will cut close to the bone for women everywhere. It's at once a tribute to South Africa's incredible history, the invisible work and labour of mothers, and feminists fighting for equality and women's rights the world over.
With bravery and grace, Margie delves into the details of her life and career to date, including her divorce, how she's battled depression and how she navigated the impossible balance of work and motherhood.
Huge thanks to Margie for taking the time to join us in studio!
