Riot Women: A Relatable Inspiration
Sally Wainwright's inspiration for Riot Women is relatable: "If the menopause happened to blokes, we’d be getting HRT from Tesco."
Instead of seeking therapy for menopause, Wainwright wrote Riot Women, a show that represents midlife women struggling between family needs and aging parents.
- The show is for midlife women who identify with these struggles.
- It also offers insight into an underrepresented demographic for all viewers.
Riot Women, a six-part series, is now available for viewing, and writer Sally Wainwright finds it very personal.
