Sally Wainwright's inspiration for Riot Women is relatable: "If the menopause happened to blokes, we’d be getting HRT from Tesco."
Instead of seeking therapy for menopause, Wainwright wrote Riot Women, a show about midlife women struggling between their children's and ageing parents' needs while dealing with menopause.
