With Elizabeth Renzetti & Doug Saunders
Award-winning journalists Elizabeth Renzetti and Doug Saunders discuss writing about important social issues and the power of journalism to create a more just future.
A passionate advocate for gender equity and one of Canada's most respected journalists, Renzetti's recently released book, What She Said, is a forcefully argued, accessible, and witty exploration of women's rights and issues, including health care, sexual harassment, reproductive justice—especially as experienced by Indigenous and racialized women—as well as politics, technology, and finance.
A Different Drummer Books will be on site with books for sale and signing.
Presented in partnership with McClelland & Stewart and A Different Drummer Books
