5 gynaecological symptoms never to ignore
Plus: 💉 Demi Moore's body horror 🤫 introverted leaders 🔪 the truth about true crime
Talking about things ‘down there’ can feel awkward or embarrassing, but we know it’s something many of you want more information about: one of our top articles last month was a gynaecologist’s advice on the five ‘red flag’ symptoms to look out for.
Welcome back to Take The Lead, the fortnightly newsletter from The Female Lead.
Every other edition will, like this one, bring you our most-read and most-subscribed-to articles of the last month.
We’ve been talking about Demi Moore’s horror film that makes a point about “absurd” beauty standards, the list of big companies stepping up for women’s equality (looking for a new job, anyone?) and whether introverts can be good leaders.
If you missed our first full newsletter, about women being furious, it’s here.
