Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright divulges emotional personal inspiration behind Riot Women – as cast of characters explained

by

I’ve always been captivated by Sally Wainwright’s work. She has this incredible ability to portray women’s lives with such honesty and depth. I first really noticed it with *Last Tango in Halifax*, watching Nicola Walker and Sarah Lancashire find love later in life – it was just beautiful. Then, Sarah Lancashire completely blew me away in *Happy Valley* a couple of years later. And who could forget Suranne Jones making history so compelling in *Gentleman Jack*? Honestly, in my opinion, she’s the best at what she does – truly gifted at curating and writing stories about women, both in the past and today.
