Laura Bates & Winnie M Li: Misogyny Laid Bare
In Winnie M Li’s novel Complicit, a former actress’s experiences at the hands of Hollywood mirror the real violence perpetrated in that arena. Fix the System, Not the Women by Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, unveils the ways in which our social systems continually let down women and girls. Together they discuss the systems that work at the expense of women, the power that lets them do so and how we need to effect change.
