Summary

Ten years on from the speech that stopped us all in our tracks Julia Gillard's Misogyny Speech. Where were you then? And where are we now? "Then it was done. After staying silent, I had my say. At no time did I feel worked up or hotly angry or out of control. I felt strong, measured, controlled. Yet emotion played its role in the energy of the speech. The frustration that sexism and misogyny could still be so bad in the 21st century. The toll of not pointing it out." The book opens with a bang, the speech in full, and is then divided into three sections The speech; Misogyny past and present; and Fighting misogyny. Interleaved between the sections are emotional, engaging and even funny snapshots of people politicians, those in creative industries, younger and older feminists sharing their 'where were you' moments and how the speech affected them. Because we know there is nothing like being in the room where it happened, there will be reflections and recollections from those who were on the floor, or in the press gallery when the electrifying speech was delivered. And, people will share the worst misogyny they have ever faced where will Julia start?!
