In fact, she’s one of a whole generation.‘Accidental feminists’ is the name Caro has coined to describe women, now aged over 55, who lived vastly different lives from any generation before them. The accidental feminists didn’t grow up expecting to break new ground and only a few wore the feminist label with pride until quite recently.
