All About Women 2014

Overview

What do women really want? Sydney is about to find out — with All About Women returning in 2014. Entering into its second year, this is a whole-day festival, presented by Ideas at the House and Daily Life and devoted, solely, to the ladies.

Roping in international names and local personalities, the festival speaks to a diverse range of ideas important to women of the millennial, from modern parenting and workplace issues to illuminating perspectives on the goings on in Egypt and Somalia. Featuring talks with the likes of Alison Bechdel (inventor of the 'Bechdel test' for movies and writer of comic Dykes to Watch Out For) and British environmentalist Lucy Siegle, All About Women will also feature panel discussions and a clothes swap, while home-grown heroes Annabel Crabb, Cassandra Kelly and Kaz Cooke conduct 'how to' sessions.

In a year where we've been led to reflect women's experience in public life, All About Women provides a safe, dynamic and inclusive platform to get roaring (think Helen Reddy circa 1970 and not that ">terrible karaoke scene in Sex and the City 2).

Tickets are on sale from February 3.
