How do you hold your ground when speaking the truth makes you a target?

For award-winning journalist, broadcaster, and author Antoinette Lattouf, at least one way is to draw upon the stories of all those who've done it before you.

In this episode, Antoinette unpacks the brutal reality of challenging institutional power and the personal price of unflinching integrity - discussing her own battle against the ABC after speaking out on human rights in Gaza, and many other incredible examples from her book Women Who Win.

She talks about the long history of women speaking truth to power, and why they've been considered dangerous enough to be dismissed and derided, along with her own path to storytelling and the many books and people who have shaped that path.
