Riot Women: A Relatable Story
Sally Wainwright's inspiration for Riot Women is relatable, as she quotes:
If the menopause happened to blokes, we’d be getting HRT from Tesco. Instead of seeking therapy for menopause, Wainwright wrote Riot Women.
The show is for midlife women who struggle with the needs of their children and ageing parents while dealing with menopause. It offers an insight into an underrepresented demographic on TV.
Riot Women, a six-part series, is now available. Author's note: Riot Women is a personal story.
