Feminist Fightback! with Jess Hill

Canberr Writers Festival presents

Women everywhere are noticing signs of backlash after all the feminist progress forged in the 1960s-70s. Misogyny, rising rates of domestic violence, winding back of abortion rights… Women are in an unfinished revolution and the stakes could not be higher. This is the intimate but LOUD conversation we need to have that sets out the radical history of women’s liberation in Australia, tells hard truths about family violence, and issues a war cry for all women and girls. Above all, it will be a celebration of womanhood. 

Join journalist and author Virginia Haussegger, gender violence expert and journalist Jess Hill and award-winning author and poet Maxine Beneba Clarke for an honest chat that will also give YOU a chance to ask questions and be a part of the discussion. Moderated by Canberra author, artist and performance poet, Jacqui Malins.
