Lena Dunham, the writer, director and star of acclaimed television series Girls, joins Jenni to discuss her extraordinary career and her no-holds-barred new memoir Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's Learned. Covering topics from sex to psychiatry, the book adopts the same unflinching approach to young womanhood depicted in Girls and Lena will talk to Jenni about her take on modern feminism. Lena stays with us to discuss the power of what we wear with blogger Susie Bubble; why the issue of consent is still so problematic on university campuses; and speaks to Ruby Tandoh about whether the internet is actually having a positive effect on body image for young women and girls.
