This week, Stauney and Sadie explore the second half of the women behind The Beatles. In part two of this episode, we delve into the focus on the women who supported The Beatles, often at great personal cost, and great criticism.

We discuss Paul McCartney's first significant girlfriend, Jane Asher, an accomplished actress, and their broken engagement, and his first wife Linda Eastman, a photographer and musician, who is also often blamed for the break-up of The Beatles. Next, we look at Ringo Starr's marriage with hairdresser Maureen Cox and their messy affairs and divorce, followed by his marriage to actress and model Barbara Bach, who aided greatly in his substance abuse recovery.

These incredibly talented and accomplished women deserve their time in the spotlight, showcasing their significant contributions to the success of the famous London band. Check out last week for the women behind John and George!
