What's got my attention this week

Want some ideas for things to read, watch and listen to this weekend? Look no further...

Dame Vivienne Westwood died last week. Now we'll never get to hear her on The Shift 😞

SCROLLING
• In honour of Dame Viv, this is one of my favourite interviews with her, in The Gentlewoman (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• Life and Loves of a She-devil novelist Fay Weldon also died, aged 91. I love this obituary by Jenny Colgan (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• In the gap between fairness and inclusion, we've lost sight of humanity. This piece by a trans athlete (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) really made me think.
• Why we persist in making resolutions (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) – and why 99 times out of 100 they fail.
• Ms magazine turned 50 (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• "It's a joy to work with another actress who eats cake!" Love this interview with Happy Valley's Siobhan Finneran (Öffnet in neuem Fenster).
• Welcome to the menopause gold rush. (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) Yup, it's anti-ageing by any other name and everyone's jumping aboard.
