With Debra Adelaide, Anna Funder, Dr Anita Heiss and chair Kerryn Goldsworthy. It's a universally acknowledged truth that women read more fiction than men...but why? For women who experience the majority of the emotional and mental load of managing families, homes and relationships, the novel seems poised as an ideal form to explore this terrain - the power wielded within it, its pitfalls, price, and pleasures. The novel can be a tool for resistance, a solace, and an art. So what does the imbalance in what gets published actually mean? How does it affect what is considered 'worthwhile reading'? And what are the poor blokes missing out on? #FWF18 #w4wpodcast #writes4festivals #writing #festivals #feminism #reading #journalism #activism #fiction #readers #booksSHOWNOTES:Writes4Festivals and Writes4WomenWeb - www.writes4women.comFacebook - @writes4womenTwitter / Instagram - @w4wpodcastFeminist Writers FestivalWeb - www.feministwritersfestival.comFacebook / Twitter - @feministwritersfest

Anne Summers in conversation with Julia Baird about her new book, Unfettered and Alive: A Memoir. Dr Anne Summers AO has been defying expectations her entire life. Her extraordinary career as a journalist, author, policy maker, activist, bureaucrat, board member, editor and publisher, has seen her travel the world, leading feminist debate, advising prime ministers, presiding over Greenpeace International and producing and writing influential journalism and books. She has walked away from success and charged down new paths, to satisfy her restlessness and help herself, and us all, see things differently, and expand what is possible. #FWF18 #fwf18 #annesummers #unfetteredandalive #allenandunwin #feminism #journalism #equality #writing #podcasting #podcasts SHOWNOTES:Writes4Festivals and Writes4WomenWeb -www.writes4women.comFacebook - @writes4womenTwitter / Instagram - @w4wpodcastFeminist Writers FestivalWeb - www.feministwritersfestival.comFacebook / Twitter - @feministwritersfestAnne Summers Web -www.annesummers.com.auFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/annesummersofficial/Twitter - @SummersAnne

Writes4Festivals Presents 2018 Feminist Writers Festival - Sydney "Domestic Violence and the Law" (CW: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE) With Professor Heather Douglas, Professor Nan Seuffert, Dr Jane Wangmann and chair Dr Cristy Clark. Australia has a serious problem with domestic violence. One in three women will experience violence in their lifetime, one in five will experience sexual violence, and every single week, one woman is murdered by a partner or ex-partner. Current legal and policy responses to domestic violence are inadequate, often inappropriate, and can sometimes put women and their children at risk. Our panel of domestic violence experts will discuss the legal and policy changes that are needed to change our shocking domestic violence statistics and the systems that uphold them. #FWF18 #w4wpodcast #writes4festivals #writing #festivals #feminism #domesticviolence #journalism #activism #law #familylaw If you or anyone you know is dealing with domestic violence please call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for help.

THE FEMINIST WRITERS FESTIVAL IS COMING TO SYDNEY!

In the "Mentoring Feminists, Mentoring Writers" session, from the 2018 Feminist Writers Festival, writers and editors Jennifer Mills, Natalie Kon-Yu and Jacinda Woodhead discuss the importance of active mentoring in the creative arts.Mentoring is a critical part of the creative life, but something women and non-binary writers are often excluded from. Without mentoring, writers and artists can miss out on important networks or opportunities; sometimes, it can be hard to even get a foot in the door.

Activism isn't always a choice, for many people in this world their very existence is a form of activism, for others activism is a duty they can't turn away from. The Resist panel at the 2018 Feminist Writers Festival was filled with a mix of both. In a rich discussion about what it means to work in the activist space, Santilla Chingaipe, Tarneen Onus-Wililams and Asher Wolf, dissect the words that come from their activism; how they use those words to drive awareness and change; and how they look after themselves while doing the important work.  Writes4Women are proud to be the podcast partner for the 2018 Feminist Writers Festival  SHOWNOTES: Writes4Women Web - www.writes4women.com Facebook - @writes4women Twitter / Instagram - @w4wpodcast Feminist Writers Festival  Web - www.feministwritersfestival.com Facebook / Twitter - @feministwritersfest Pamela Cook Web - www.pamelacook.com.au Facebook - @pamelacookauthor Twitter - @PamelaCookAU Kel Butler Facebook / Twitter- @kelbutler Santilla Chingaipe Web -www.santillachingaipe.com Tarneen Onus-Williams  Twitter - @Tarneen Asher Wolf Twitter - @Asher_Wolf
