Summary

This quote highlights the societal shifts brought about by the baby boomer generation. The speaker suggests that the widespread use of contraception, particularly the pill, allowed more women to pursue education and careers. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the number of women writers, editors, and producers, leading to a greater representation of women's stories in various media outlets. The comment about the BBC reflects how this transformation has influenced even traditionally male-dominated industries.
