March the 8th is International Women’s Day. To celebrate, the Metropolitan Literary Salon have invited two inspiring authors, Louise Perry and Lauren Brown, to look at two pertinent issues affecting women across the world: the state of the sexual revolution and mental health.
In conversation with Saqib Mailk, Louise Perry will discuss her debut book “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution”. Lauded by the Guardian as “the most important feminist book of its time”, Perry will provide an illuminating commentary on gender and sex in the 21st century as informed by her work in a rape crisis centre. Louise will highlight how our contemporary hypersexualised culture has failed women and will make a passionate case for a new sexual ethos built around dignity, virtue and restraint.
Statistics today show that women are three times more likely than men to experience common mental health problems. In conversation with Ruth Comerford from Inews, Lauren Brown will open the window to her own battles against a range of conditions as exposed in her memoir, “Hands: An Anxious Mind Unpicked.” With these personal revelations, she will delve deep into the psyche of mental health, OCD and the challenges affecting women today.
