From the streets of Delhi to the corridors of the BBC, from the international Slutwalk phenomenon to the role of women in the Arab uprisings, a new mood of powerful opposition to sexism, inequality and injustice is widespread. But why does sexism persist? How can it be successfully confronted and beaten?
Kate Connelly is the author of a forthcoming book on the great suffragette leader Sylvia Pankhurst (out this autumn) and she will be visiting Newcastle to explain her ideas, informed by the lessons of past struggles.
The meeting is organised by Counterfire. Free entry.
