SOLD OUT

“The voice of the resistance” is just another accolade that public intellectual, feminist, multi-award winning writer, environmentalist, and human rights activist Rebecca Solnit can add to her global recognition. The author of such works as Men Explain Things to Me, Orwell’s Roses, and Wanderlust joins us with her latest book, the anthology Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility. In this intimate interview, she speaks to her lifelong work as an activist and feminist, and the barriers we face to progress—and how there’s still so much room, and need, for hope. This is an opportunity to hear from one of the greatest thinkers of our generation. Moderated by Kathryn Gretsinger.
