Woman entrepreneur's battles over dating apps recounted

WHEN Whitney Wolfe Herd co-founded Tinder, she bought into the idea that there could only be one woman in the room - until she had to make a difficult exit from the online dating app company in 2014.

The entrepreneur and founder of Bumble, which gives women the power to make the first move, sued Tinder for sexual harassment and discrimination and has become one of the world's youngest female self-made billionaires.

Lily James, who portrays Wolfe in her new film Swiped, has a lot of understanding and empathy for how Wolfe navigated that period of her life.
