13. BEST OF SERIES 2025 – Dani Vee and Sara Foster – A very feminist chat – essential listening

A very feminist chat, essential listening for men and women, by women of a certain rage!

Dani and Sara have a fascinating chat about creating female characters that push back against stereotypes and tropes.

They also chat about the renegotiation and complexity of mother/daughter relationships as you age, and the paradox of what we want for our daughters (freedom) versus the safety of women in the world.

Sara delves in the toxic masculinity such as transactional relationships, power and how uncomfortable conversations have to be had in order to dismantle misogyny and toxic masculinity. Women have always been uncomfortable and have had to plan their lives around their own safety.

They also manage to chat about why thrillers engage audiences and how important they are in holding a mirror up to society.

Sara Foster is the author of acclaimed dystopian thriller The Hush and six bestselling psychological suspense novels: You Don’t Know Me, The Hidden Hours, All That is Lost Between Us, Shallow Breath, Beneath the Shadows and Come Back to Me.
Her new novel is When She Was Gone.
