Overview
This year has seen the term 'nasty women' become possibly the loudest call for solidarity by opponents to the Trump administration. As a feature event of the Sydney Writers' Festival 2017, Advice from Nasty Women will see seven globally-acclaimed female writers share cautionary tales, life lessons, wisdom and advice for an uncertain future.
Australia's own Sophie Black (content strategist at the Wheeler Centre) will host the evening, bringing together both local and international writers, including Indigenous Literacy Foundation lifetime ambassador Anita Heiss, US cultural critic Chris Kraus, Eisner Award-nominated author Nadja Spiegelman, New York Times best-seller Brit Bennett, Italy's Premio Campiello Opera Prima award-winner Viola Di Grado and Montreal-born essayist Durga Chew-Bose. This incredibly impressive lineup of opinionated and successful women spans generations and cultures to find a unified voice against sexism and oppression.
Despite the derogatory origins of 'nasty women', events like this have helped champion the term into an empowered battle cry.
