Ideas At The House

Recorded at All About Women Festival on March 5th, 2017. What happens to a loud woman with big opinions in a culture where women are expected to be small, quiet and compliant? Lindy West’s vibrant humour, refreshing candour and unapologetically trenchant attacks on body shamers and trolls have earned her the admiration of Lena Dunham, Ira Glass, and Caitlin Moran. What can each of us take away from the courage of someone who confronts rape jokes, the fat police, and anti-abortionists - and laughs to tell the tale?
