Women, Life, and Science podcast interviews Carla

February 18, 2026

Carla recently discussed Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford with Cecilia Zapata-Harms of the podcast “Women, Life, and Science.”

She was born into wealth — and chose rebellion instead.

Meet Jessica Mitford: branded a “troublemaker” by her aristocratic family, yet fiercely undaunted in her fight against fascism and injustice.

In Troublemaker, author Carla Kaplan dives deep into Mitford’s archives, letters, and new interviews to reveal a woman who resisted power — and refused to grow grim and grey doing it.

Her story doesn’t just belong to history. It speaks powerfully to today.
