Helena Kennedy with Nihal Arthanayake | Penguin Podcast

Lawyer, broadcaster and author Helena Kennedy talks to Nihal Arthanayake about her latest novel, ‘Eve Was Shamed’. The book comes 25 years after her first book ‘Eve Was Framed’ which led to a number of key reforms for women.

Her latest work sees how the British Justice system is still failing women. Helena brought along objects that inspire her including her father’s rosary and beach pebbles that help her come up with new ideas. #PenguinPodcast

Fantastic and inspiring though she is she, I believe it's the case she did not achieve those reforms by herself, contrary to the sadly somewhat fawning introduction. Other barristers such as Michael Mansfield QC made huge contributions, as did campaigning groups like Liberty, and lots of solicitors. Baroness Kennedy QC would I'm sure be amongst the first to acknowledge that No one changes the law alone.
