Postponed: Breaking the Silence: Women, Leadership, and #MeToo

Regretfully we have decided to postpone the Breaking the Silence event scheduled for Thursday 8 March. Although we are all eager to honour the achievement of these women on International Women's Day, that has proven impossible during the industrial action. We will therefore be rescheduling the event, as we remain committed to celebrating our Leading Women, and to discussing the important issues of women, leadership, and #MeToo that our Breaking the Silence event intends to address.  We will reconvene the panel at a later date. With sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

This panel will discuss the challenges facing women in leadership roles, particularly in light of the issues of sexual harassment and assault raised by the #MeToo campaign. 

Confirmed speakers:

Alexandra Pringle 

Editor in Chief, Bloomsbury Books

Catherine Mayer 

Writer and founder of the Women's Equality Party

Ayesha Hazarika MBE  

Commentator and former Labour political advisor

Kate Maltby  

Critic, columnist, and scholar
