Ep 70 Eve Ensler, Urinary Incontinence & Herstory

Eve Ensler is the Tony award winning writer and performer of The Vagina Monologues, which has been performed all over the world. The play inspired Ensler to launch V-Day, a global grassroots movement to stop violence against women and girls which to date has raised over 100m dollars. In a rousing address to the Safe Ireland Summit, she talks about why Donald Trump is not her president and outlines the positive effect on society of activism against domestic violence. Also in the podcast, Michelle Casey from Co Mayo tells Róisín Ingle about a new treatment for urinary incontinence, an issue many women struggle with. And our Herstory this week is Co Tyrone's Margaret Elizabeth Noble, later known as Sister Nivedita, who was the first western woman to be initiated into an Indian monastic order.
