In the lead-up to International Women’s Day, we investigate the concept that women have to somehow ‘have it all.’ It comes as a recent article in a News Corp paper suggested a string of high profile women’s marriages broke down because they ‘dared to have it all.’ The BBC also questioned New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s ability to ‘have it all.' Antoinette wrote an op-ed in the Herald to suggest this is unfair and problematic. 

In this episode, we speak to Annabel Crabb, writer and television host, about this 'having it all' mantra; what it means, who defines it and how it is used around successful women.
