Riverbend Books: Jane Caro author talk

Jane Caro joins us at 10.30am on February 14th to chat to us about her new book, Accidental Feminists. Grab a cup of coffee from the cafe and come inside for an insightful and inspiring morning!

Women over fifty-five are of the generation that changed everything. We didn’t expect to. Or intend to. We weren’t brought up much differently from the women who came before us, and we rarely identified as feminists, although almost all of us do now.

Accidental Feminists is our story. It explores how the world we lived in—with the pill and a regular pay cheque—transformed us and how, almost in spite of ourselves, we revolutionised the world. It is a celebration of grit, adaptability, energy and persistence. It is also a plea for future generations to keep agitating for a better, fairer world.Tickets $8, book-with-ticket $35. Book here.
