About the event

Laurie Penny will talk about her new book Sexual Revolution, a manifesto for social change and a story of how feminism can save us.Sex and gender are changing, and the world is changing with them.

In this time of crisis, we are also witnessing a productive transformation: a revolutionary change in how we define gender, sex, consent and whose bodies matter. This sexual revolution is a threat to the social and economic order. It undermines the existing power structures and weakens the authority of institutions from the waged workplace to the nuclear family. Penny argues that this is the ongoing revolution that the far right is fighting.
