Are you curious about the origins of gender inequality and how patriarchy became a global norm? Join us for an illuminating fireside chat with award-winning science journalist Angela Saini.

Angela will explore the compelling questions first touched on in her groundbreaking book, The Patriarchs: The Origins of Inequality, such as how patriarchy began, why it spread so widely across different cultures, and what history can teach us about dismantling these entrenched systems. Angela will uncover a complex history that challenges the assumption of male domination as a natural human state. Instead, she will reveal how patriarchy is a fragile construct that has been continuously reasserted through time.

During this intimate discussion, Angela will take us on a journey from the earliest human settlements to modern societies, highlighting key historical moments that shaped gender norms and offering insights on how we can create a more equitable future. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the pervasive nature of gender inequality and the steps we can take to challenge and change it.
