Too Much: The Switch by Future Women

International human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson was just 28 years old when she became a part of what was, at the time, the biggest news story in the world: Julian Assange and Wikileaks. From the outset, Robinson was told that she was too young - a critique exemplified by a demoralising interaction with one of the world’s most eminent lawyers. 

For the first time, Jennifer Robinson shares that moment, how she forged her place as one of the most prodigious legal minds of her generation and shares her advice for the next generation of legal minds when they’re told that they’re also too young.

Ask any woman and she'll tell you about a time when she was too something. At work, women are suffocated by stereotypes about who we should be and how we should behave.

Join Helen McCabe as she speaks with high-achieving women about a time in their career when they were too 'something'. Women who were too young, too old, too emotional, too outspoken, too gentle. Who were told they were too much - and forged their own path anyway. 

Too Much drops weekly from March 19, 2024.
