L103 Rachel Johnson, Jane Shilling & Harriet Walter

Society’s attitude to age, especially in relation to women, is complex and ambivalent; women in the public eye often face this particularly acutely. Jane Shilling, author of The Stranger in the Mirror, joins acclaimed actress Harriet Walter, author of Facing It: Reflections on Images and curator of the acclaimed exhibition Infinite Variety, and The Lady’s Editor Rachel Johnson, author of A Diary of the Lady, to discuss some of the challenges women face in an imageconscious society and ask what needs to change.
