Virginia Wolf wrote of ‘killing the Angel of the House’ in her wonderful ‘Professions for Women’ speech of 1931. In this episode let’s explore where you might be surrendering to your own angel, and seeking to please, pander and push down your own needs for the (perhaps) benefits of your students and colleagues. We’ll also look to Sita for inspiration. Sita who put up with #alot before finally telling her man to jam it and choosing herself.
