Penny is the Chief Executive of the Fawcett Society, the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights. A lifelong feminist, her leadership is grounded in pragmatism and realism. 

In this conversation with Jo, Penny explores what feminism means today, the growing backlash against it, and the realities of leading a legacy organisation in a complex political climate. She speaks openly about people-pleasing and what it takes to live feminist values in real life. 

If you care about equality or staying true to your principles, this episode is for you. Penny’s clarity will inspire you to swim against the tide of complacency.
