Workin' My Way Back to You, Babe | Teresa talks to Filipa Fonseca Silva
The View From A Broad
Can a working mother "have it all"? Is mothering just an endless cycle of trade-offs?
My guest is bestselling author Filipa Fonseca Silva, who, as a mother of two, opted to put her children first and that commitment has published 7 novels, 2 non-fiction books, 1 children's book, and countless chronicles, short stories, and essays, placing herself as one of the most prominent voices of contemporary Portuguese Literature.
This episode combines much laughter with Filipa's passionate call for women to use their voices and take control of their lives, a specific mission of hers it to have Portuguese women writers recognized beside their male counterparts.
To that end, she founded Clube das Mulheres Escritoras (Women Writers’ Club), a platform for mutual support among national authors, promoting Portuguese Literature written by women.
