On April 8, I'll be joining @Rosball for what promises to be a fascinating and hugely important conversation, moderated by @PoliticalYeti, about women's long and tumultuous fight for independence, empowerment and economic freedom. Ros and I will be discussing our books, what we learned from writing them, and all the work that still needs to be done to shift cultural norms and dismantle gendered stereotypes. The event's happening at 7pm at @WaterstonesTraf and I would *love* to see you there. Thanks for sharing! @ABRAMSbooks @AbramsChronicle @unbounders waterstones.com/events/progr…

So BIG announcement! Can finally reveal that #TheSkewer is coming to your screens. For our 10th radio series (just started) we’ve made a special TV version exclusively for @BBCiPlayer where we’ve twisted round to look back at the last 3 years. BUT AS A FILM. #ThreeTwistedYears

Why do we accept a gender pay gap of 14.9%, increasing to 26% for mums with 2 kids? Don't apologise for wanting a Big Career AND being present with your children. Apply to our Fellowship by 29 October. Supportive peers, time to think & a mentor. leadersplus.org/

I enjoyed researching Safak’s story so much, a fascinating woman. Thanks Saul x
From @Rosball's phenomenal new book Women Who Won. Here's more from Safak Pavey, whose story I'd not heard before: 'I am now much stronger than those who never fell'. unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/…

Here’s the elegant, 1000th, @EnglishHeritage Blue Plaque - commemorating the Women’s Freedom League - I unveiled today at 1 Robert St, off the Strand. I had help from girls from @IbstockSenior who spoke impressively and had clearly researched the WFL in detail.

We are watching, in real time, the radicalisation of young boys en-mass via misogynists online. Misogyny isn’t new but the speed and scale at which this is now happening? Unprecedented. And we need all teachers, parents - no, ADULTS to be committing to fighting this now.

📣 One year after the start of the protest movement triggered by #MahsaAmini's death in #Iran, @RSF_inter releases a strong appeal: 31 prominent international women journalists support their Iranian colleagues arrested or detained during the year for covering the nationwide "Woman, life, freedom" protest movement. Their courage is admirable. We will support them to the end. Read our appeal 👇 rsf.org/en/31-prominent-inte…
