The roar for gender equality has echoed across centuries, but scarcely has
it sounded louder in recent history than now. Discrimination is
increasingly illuminated and dismantled. In no small part, this is due to
leading-edge feminist thinker and author Rachel Kushner influencing
international conversation, no more so than with her acclaimed, and
Booker-shortlisted novel, The Mars Room. It’s a gripping depiction of
institutionalized sexism, as told through the experiences of a mother
serving two life sentences. The giant of contemporary culture will discuss
her latest work—and the current events that inspired it.
