Petrach’s Bookshop: ‘Accidental Feminists’ with Jane Caro

Petrarch's Bookshop along with Melbourne University Publishing will be hosting Jane Caro as she launches her book Accidental Feminists at St John's Craft Beer Bar.

Accidental Feminists is how one generation became feminists—by accident. 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 $10, book-with-ticket $35 (Accidental Feminists RRP $32.99). Book here.
