Nicky Denson-Elliott knows that a high tide lifts all boats. She first came to our Mick’s attention because of her current campaign to replace ‘hysterectomy’ with ‘uterectomy’ in NHS patient materials (you can sign the petition here), but it quickly became apparent how many different projects Nicky's got going in order to raise that tide for all boats. And by boats, we mean women. 
In this episode, Mick chats to Nicky about bigging up women, medical language rooted in misogyny, a documentary she’s got in the pipeline, tackling internal misogyny and much more.
