SPECIAL EVENT
Feared And Revered: Power And Possibility
Angela Saini In Conversation With Louise Milligan
“By thinking about gendered inequality as rooted in something unalterable within us, we fail to see it for what it is, something more fragile that has had to be constantly remade and reasserted.”
Two brilliant women. One radical idea: patriarchy is not inevitable. An unmissable conversation about power and possibility.
Presented in conjunction with Harper Collins and The Wheeler Centre
