An inspiring conversation with acclaimed author and campaigner Natasha Walter about building a more connected and hopeful future. Drawing on her powerful and urgent new book Feminism for a World on Fire, Natasha explores how the challenges facing women today – from inequality and online misogyny to climate change – are deeply interconnected and why our responses can be too. She offers a vision of feminism rooted in solidarity, community and care for both people and the planet, imagining how women’s liberation can sit alongside movements for equality, justice and environmental protection. ‘Natasha Walters is a unique voice and a big picture thinker.
