Few writers have redefined the boundaries of modern feminist discourse as Roxane Gay. Together with the author of internationally acclaimed books as Bad Feminist and Hunger we dissect the intersection of feminism, power and literature.
Roxane Gay has been a leading voice in conversations about representation, autonomy, and the complexities of living in a world that often marginalizes differences. Her work raises essential questions about who gets to tell their story, how agency is reclaimed in the face of systemic oppression, and the transformative potential of storytelling as a tool for resistance and change.
Together with Roxane Gay, we’ll explore how literature shapes the fight for justice and equality, delving into the ways personal narratives can illuminate universal struggles, challenge norms, and inspire movements.
