Tickets available Friday, February 8 at 9 am click here:  Good and Mad with Rebecca Traister

In conversation with Aimée Morrison, Associate Professor
University of Waterloo  

We’re told to calm down, that anger is bad for our health.

But after Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 election, the #MeToo year that led to allegations, firings, and criminal charges at the highest levels across almost every industry, and turmoil within CanLit, women are good and mad.

What happens now?

Join us for an indepth conversation with Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger. Traister’s book looks back at how anger has shaped the waves of feminism, and how women today are using their rage to galvanize a 21st century revolution.
