Karen is the creator of the influential feminist salon, Cherchez La Femme. Fans will be thrilled that Cherchez La Femme is being reborn as a podcast – featuring Karen and special guests with feminist takes on their pop culture picks!

She edited the collection ‘Doing It: Women Tell the Truth About Great Sex’ in 2016, and along with Jane Bennett co-wrote ‘About Bloody Time: The Menstrual Revolution We Have to Have’ in 2019.
