Join social commentator Clementine Ford along with some of Canberra's favourite feminists for an end-of-year Feminist Dinner Party.
Talk about Boys Will Be Boys - Clementine’s only Canberra event since publication - over bubbles, issues of gender over Grenache, misogyny over a Malbec, and equality with some quality company.
We’ll open up the bookshop at 5.30pm for pre-dinner drinks and an informal meet-and-greet with Clementine (plus book signings), with dinner served at 6.30pm. Ticket price includes a two course meal and wine, and of course fabulous feminist conversation. Be in bed by 10pm to recharge for another day of smashing the patriarchy!
