Description

Expect this unique close encounter with Germaine to be candid, enlightening and highly entertaining....

Forty years ago it seemed that women were about to take their rightful place in the world, in parliament, in the church, in the judiciary, in the workplace but when you open the newspaper you find that news is still made by men in suits.

With each stage of their lives, as they become successively wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, they become less visible.

Germaine Greer attempts to explain this state of affairs and to suggest some strategies for change.

Controversial agenda setting author, acclaimed academic, outspoken broadcaster, feminist icon and public figure, this event gives the audience the unique chance to ask all those burning questions they have been longing to throw at her.... serious or lighthearted.
