According to Fox News’ Jesse Watters, young women are voting against conservative parties in droves because they’re too - wait for it! - educated and SINGLE. To solve the infuriating matter of their political independence, Watters suggests they need to be married off to men who’ll get them back on the straight and narrow.
While we might laugh at this ignorance, the demonisation of single women (and the threat they pose to a status quo reliant on women’s domestic service and political inequality) is nothing new. In this invigorating session, Clementine Ford will take you on an eye opening walk through history and explain how and why the Cat Lady trope has become so prolific.
From the European witch trials to the formation of the western legal system and its impact on survivors today, the economic threat posed by spinsters in the 17th century to the new terror posed by Cat Ladies, and even the question of how beer fits into all of this, Clementine will have you howling with both laughter and fury at the diabolical lengths patriarchy has gone to in order to keep women under its eye. History made herstory, this one is not to be missed!
The show (45mins) will be followed by a Q&A (30 mins) to be followed by a Book Signing on the Mezzanine.
