Hello, and welcome to this week’s Take Five – returning after a hiatus last week, so thank you for your patience. The news has been particularly upsetting this month and if you’re feeling anxious and turned off by the headlines, you’re not alone. The purpose of this newsletter is to help you feel a little more in control of your current affairs consumption, allowing you to stay up to date with the issues most affecting women, without having to immerse yourself in wall-to-wall coverage.
As always, in addition to the week’s five key news stories, you’ll also find five positive tales to raise your spirits, along with five thought-provoking longer reads to dive into whenever suits you.
It’s news, curated especially for you, and in this overwhelming world, I hope that helps at least a little.
Now, on with the show…
