By Jamila Rizvi Books Jane Caro's new book gives voice to a generation of women who lived vastly different lives to the younger women of today. By Jamila Rizvi Previous article Cultural Cool: Architect Ingrid Richards On Building Better Cities Next article How To Battle The Sunday Scaries Jane Caro is an accidental feminist. 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. Nonetheless, Caro argues that these women, who once assumed they’d live lives comparable to their own mothers, have fundamentally changed our society, our economy and indeed, the world. culturefeminismmakingbooksgreatagain Best Of Future Women Culture “Never an excuse”: Why Katrina still can’t stand the smell of bourbon By Sally Spicer Culture Janine never thought divorce would mean losing her family and friends By Sally Spicer Culture “Invisible victims”: Why Conor was forced to live in an unsafe home By Sally Spicer Culture Miranda*’s mothers group helped her escape abuse.
