Description: For International Women's Day, I had a chat with science writer and podcaster Abby Norman, author of 'Ask Me About My Uterus' (released 6 March 2018) and host of the delightful audio-Wikihole 'Let Me Google That'. We discussed women's health, living with endometriosis and Abby's struggle with the medical professions to get recognition for a condition which affects far more women than we think. We also discussed feminism and the invisible structures that can determine a woman's place in society. Finally, the conversation turned to Abby's podcast and the boundless curiosity that drives it, and Abby's life generally. We found that to Abby, the meaning of life is best encapsulated in Mary Oliver's quote "Pay Attention. Be Astonished. Tell About It."
