Caroline Criado Perez: Banknotes, Backlash and the Rise of a Rolemodel - Lost Lectures

Caroline is one of the UK’s leading feminists and co-founder of Women’s Room. Most recently, she convinced the Bank of England to put a woman on the face of British currency– and suffered a torrent of abuse as a result. Always willing to stick her head above the parapet, she’s bravely confronted bigotry at great personal risk. In this harrowing talk, Caroline explores the current state of gender equality in the UK and abroad. She describes her campaign to improve female representation and the horrific backlash that greeted her. Caroline makes an impassioned call to arms, forecasting a difficult struggle, yet a defining one.
