Bullies, blood and battlegrounds | Susie Ferguson

View descriptionShare

There were three things Susie Ferguson was never going to do; climb Mt Everest, run a marathon or write a book.

However a serendipitous podcast interview with my good friend Frank nudged her to capture her experiences as a war correspondent, radio journalist and woman - the result is "Bloody Minded." 

Susie shares her experiences of being bullied and even publicly shamed by a teacher while navigating the tricky dynamics of an all-girls school. 

Her candid reflections on enduring undiagnosed endometriosis while reporting from Iraq, display her resilience and humour. 

From her love story with husband Lee, to the intense bonds formed in war zones,and the challenges of transitioning into motherhood, Susie’s book is moving and memorable.

Join us for a heartfelt exploration of adaptability, determination, and the bonds that define our lives.
