FEMONOMICS: Using Data to Improve Women’s Lives

Ever feel like the odds are stacked against you just for being a woman? You’re not imagining it. The data proves it – from household chores to career opportunities, the squeeze is real. But the same evidence can also show you how to take control and design a life that works for you.

In this practical talk, Corinne Low, business economics professor and author of Femonomics, will be interviewed and recorded live by Deborah Frances-White for a special episode of "The Guilty Feminist podcast". Corinne will reveal how to:

• Turn your time into money and value your own worth
• Set boundaries at work and at home instead of chasing ‘flexibility’
• Plan your career and family life with intention
• Make data-driven choices to reclaim your energy and time

Whether you’re juggling career, family, or both, Corinne will give you the tools to make evidence-based decisions that make the world work for you.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
