Helen Lewis

Helen Lewis is a British journalist and author. She is a staff writer at The Atlantic and was previously deputy editor of the New Statesman. Difficult Women explores the messy, complicated, and often contentious history of feminism in Britain — arguing that the women who changed the world were rarely polite, agreeable, or easy to deal with. The book challenges the sanitised version of feminist history. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a sharp, honest history of feminism — a book that proves the women who changed the world were never the ones who played nice.
