What next? Rebel Wilson, Jacinda Ardern, and winning female entrepreneurship

There's been a shift in how we talk about the private lives of others, and we're all for it -- with the backlash against the newspaper that "outed" Rebel Wilson fierce and game-changing. Meanwhile, what's with the rise in threats of violence against female politicians? From NZ PM Jacinda Ardern to Australian Independent MP Dr Monique Ryan, there's been a sharp uptick in misogynistic threats. Also this week, a win from government on women's workforce participation -- this time in NSW, where billions will be invested in childcare.
