Dr Pragya Agarwal
Book ShamblesPragya Agarwal is a behavioural scientist who’s written a number of excellent books on the subject but her most recent book, (M)otherhood: On the choices of being a woman, is her most personal book yet as it examines how we as a society look at motherhood. She joins Robin and Josie this week to chat about the book, how each new book consumes her, childbirth, menopause and much more.
As ever, Patreon supporters get an extended edition which this week includes tales of Robin’s self isolation and a particularly memorable evening at the Fringe… Subscribe at patreon.com/bookshambles
