Show notes

What happens when the most difficult period of your life is broadcast live across the country? For Antoinette Lattouf, the answer was to write. During her landmark court case against the countries public broadcaster for unlawful termination, she turned to the stories of other women who fought and ultimately won. Her bestselling book Women Who Win was the result. We discuss the inspiration behind the book, her experience in journalism over many years and the new independent journalism movement leading the charge on truth-telling.
