Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. In today's episode, Danielle Sands speaks to Guardian feature writer and columnist Polly Vernon about her quest to truly understand the female body. To create her new book, How the Female Body Works, Vernon spoke to neuroscientists, academics and medical experts to uncover how women's bodies work and how they change, from puberty and childbirth to the menopause and beyond.
