It’s been a rollercoaster week for Australian women with an outcry about our safety after the Westfield Bondi Junction tragedy was paired with the relief after the long-awaited verdict, the Bruce Lehrmann defamation case. We unpack.

Plus, is it hot in here? Why so many women are deep in romantasy novels involving faeries (yep... that's how the books are spelling it) and some very sexy scenes. Claire Murphy shares a sultry taste of what you're missing out on.

And, Em Ratajkowski is empowering women to change the narrative of divorce, by turning their engagement rings into a new piece of jewellery. So who does the jewellery "belongs to" and what other women have done post divorce?
