Invite me over to help test drinks!' was a pretty common refrain as I wrote this book – I couldn’t keep up with the demand, honestly. But I had my pal Lima over on a sunny afternoon to try out the Mindy Kaling, which is essentially a dark n’ stormy float. She was like, “Oh my god, why have I never done this before?” Lately, lots of books highlight ' sheroes' of history. Yours include 60 iconic women. I ’ d love to hear about some of the women that, perhaps, young UK readers aren ’ t that familiar with. Could you give me one or two examples of amazing women you ’ ve discovered or whose histories have surprised you while writing the book?

There has also been a lot of discussion about how feminism has become mainstream to the point that the word sometimes has lost its meaning.
