Please join us for a lively Zoom discussion between journalist Lauren Bastide and AAWE member Pauline Lemasson as they speak about her new bookPrésentes – Ville, médias, politique… quelle place pour les femmes?on Monday, January 18, 2021 at 6:00pm.
The conversation will be in English.
In her inspiring and deeply impactful essay, Bastide uses anecdotes and statistics (i.e., only 4% of streets in France are named after women) to powerful effect in revealing the invisibility of French women in public spaces, media, and politics.
Her well-researched book is a manifesto for change and influenced by the many women of all backgrounds she has interviewed on her podcast La Poudre, which has over 10 million listeners. We will discuss the importance of women’s voices and expertise in all domains, how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted womens’ work and lives, and the paths toward gender parity and justice.
