Farz Edraki
Contributor

Farz Edraki started out in student radio, where she once hosted a show in a full-length banana costume, spent an entire day at Summernats, and discovered the true meaning of dead air. These days, she helps out at a radio station in Canberra and makes podcasts for Writers Bloc. She loves listening to stories of all forms.

When was the first time you remember identifying yourself as a feminist?

Short answer: watching Peppa Pig.
Longer answer: throughout high school, I struggled to identify as a feminist. Although, it wasn't a conscious decision, really; I just never really gave it much thought. Back then, I was more alert to issues of race, having grown up in predominately all-white neighbourhoods in country Victoria and New South Wales. It wasn't until someone lent me a copy of The Female Eunuch and I met a bunch of awesome, fierce women at ANU through Lip Magazine and Woroni that something clicked.
