SUMMARY:Caroline Criado Perez: Invisible Women
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Literature Festival presents…                               \nIt really is a man’s world. In her latest book Invisible Women\, writer and feminist campaigner Caroline Criado Perez (Do It Like a Woman) considers how the perspective we have of the world has been recorded and shaped by men\, leaving silence and gaps when it comes to the stories and needs of women. From the temperature in the office and the height of shelves\, to smartphones and fitness monitors\, work-related cancers and crash-test dummies\, Caroline reveals how the data bias impacts in hidden ways on women’s health\, well-being and how we live our everyday lives. \nCaroline’s most notable campaigns have included getting Jane Austen – the first woman other than Queen Elizabeth II – to appear on Bank of England banknotes\, and successfully campaigning for a statue of suffragist Millicent Fawcett to be erected in Parliament Square. Caroline will be in conversation with host Alex Clark. \nFor tickets call the MLF box office on 0843 208 0500 or use the link below

SUMMARY:Cathy Newman: Bloody Brilliant Women
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Literature Festival presents…                               \nBloody Brilliant Women\, Channel 4 journalist Cathy Newman’s fascinating history of British women\, asks two important questions: what were the sources of female power in the 20th century?\, and what have women used this power to achieve? Cathy introduces us to women who’ve been long overlooked – from bookbinder Emma Paterson (founder of the Women’s Protective and Provident League) to engineer Beatrice Shilling\, who invented a brass collar to prevent fuel flooding RAF plane engines. From journalist Claudia Jones (founder of Notting Hill Carnival) to those who are leading the march onwards in the 21st century. Cathy will be in conversation with host Alex Clark. \nFor tickets call the MLF box office on 0843 208 0500 or use the link below

SUMMARY:Clementine Ford: Boys Will Be Boys
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Literature Festival presents…                               \n‘The status quo might revere men as a class\, but it destroys them as individuals.’ In Boys Will Be Boys\, Australian feminist Clementine Ford’s furious and funny new book\, she considers why toxic masculinity isn’t just bad for women\, it’s also bad for men and boys. Through research\, culture and anecdotes\, Clementine looks at our approach to gender\, and how it represses children and the adults they become. Rather than discussing how to arm and protect girls\, Clementine flips the question and asks how should we protect boys from masculine stereotypes and raise them to be feminist allies? Hosted by Anita Sethi. \nFor tickets call the MLF box office on 0843 208 0500 or use the link below
