Glamour UK’s Editor-in-Chief Deborah Joseph joins Vick to discuss feminism through the lens of magazines, the importance of representation and the need for perfectly imperfect women. 



Deborah is an award-winning editor and journalist. Over the past seven years, she has directed Glamour’s transition from a print to a digital-first, beauty-first brand. Prior to that, she spent six years working for fashion and celebrity tech start-ups, was a social media consultant for Jenny Packham, and edited the Daily Mail’s life and style section. She was on the launch team of Glamour over 20 years ago and has also edited two other Condé Nast titles, Easy Living and Brides. 



Deborah speaks regularly on the topic of women’s empowerment and the challenges facing working mothers, and after experiencing burnout now chooses to live what she describes as her ‘best 70% life’. 



Deborah’s book choices are:

** Sweet Valley High by Francine Pascal

** Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

** Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding

** This is Not a Pity Memoir by Abi Morgan

** Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
