Angie and Anna discuss the untold story of Eileen Blair, the wife of Eric Arthur Blair, better known to the world as George Orwell. Angie and Anna talk about the challenges of being a writer and a mother, Eileen's role in Orwell's success, and how much we're still under the grip of gender roles today.
