Many Feminisms | Clare Wright, Marta Breen and Urvashi Butalia in conversation with Bee Rowlatt | Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Series Jaipur Literature Festival 2024
Many feminisms and perspectives, both current and prevalent across cultures and societies, have perhaps provided a greater flexibility to the women's movement. Issues such as women rights, intersectional feminism, ethnic marginalisation, social hierarchies and economic deprivation all take on many forms and have to be understood in their multiplicity. This session brings togethers writers and activists from across the world to speak of their immediate contexts and the wider search for equity and justice.
