Sydney Writers' Festival Rebecca Traister: Good and Mad

This event has ended

For as long as women have been angry, men have sought to dismiss them as hormonal, hysterical, irrational, crazy. But fierce females are not a recent phenomenon. Long before #MeToo and the Women’s March, the full force of women’s fury has been weaponized to transform politics around the world.

New York Times best-seller Rebecca Traister explores how the anger of women – from the suffragettes to Pantsuit Nation – has been a catalyst that has changed the course of history.

This is a free event, however, registrations are essential. 

Presented by UNSW Arts & Social Sciences, a partner of the 2019 Sydney Writers’ Festival.
