Tiffany Haddish’s memoir, The Last Black Unicorn (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Last-Black-Unicorn/Tiffany-Haddish/9781501181832), balances humour with poignancy as it recounts the personal and professional struggles of the comedian trying to make it in the industry. Haddish’s irreverent style reveals a big heart and a desire to open the door to other marginalized comedians. Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (http://www.birdsofpreymovie.net) centres a morally ambiguous female anti-hero who triumphs when bandying up with other women to defeat the villains chasing a child. The movie beats with gorgeously choreographed action and wry commentary on gender and heroism. Join the conversation on Twitter at @World_ofStories or email us at worldofstoriespodcast@gmail.com.
