Jo King begins by talking about the beginning of her burlesque dancing career and the women who were working at the time. Even if she didn’t realise their influence at the time.

Then Jo King discussed the inspirational women in history who touched her life. There’s plenty to love whether it’s the comedy of Bette Midler or strength of Maya Angelou.
