Hello JOhn,

As you know, each month we send out a list of our favorite books, films, tv shows, theatre and talks that intersect with feminism and the women’s rights movement. We are excited to announce that we are leveling up this list of recommendations and adding a series of cozy conversations with some of our favorite authors, filmmakers, journalists, and more, all hosted by Equality Now’s board member, Patricia Amira.

We hope you will join us for our first session in this series: At home with Christina Lamb on Thursday, May 7 at 12pm EDT/5pm BST.

Christina Lamb is one of Britain’s leading foreign correspondents and a bestselling author. Some of her best-known books are I Am Malala, The Girl from Aleppo, and her most recent book Our Bodies, Their Battlefield. She has covered wars from Iraq to Libya, Angola to Syria, and been based in Islamabad and Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg, and Washington D.C. She has a particular focus on issues that affect women in conflict such as girls abducted by Boko Haram, Yazidi sex slaves in Iraq, and the plight of Afghan women. She has won 14 major awards including five times being named Foreign Correspondent of the Year and Europe’s top war reporting prize, the Prix Bayeux. 

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, May 7 and take a look at the other upcoming speakers in the At Home With Series!

In solidarity,

Emma Thompson
Director of Communications
