Riot Women: A Relatable Inspiration
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 her menopause, Wainwright wrote Riot Women, a show that represents midlife women.
- The show is for midlife women struggling with the needs of their children and ageing parents while dealing with menopause.
- Riot Women offers an insight into an underrepresented demographic on TV.

The six-part series is now available to watch, and for Wainwright, the show is very personal.
