2011 programme
Jane Shilling & Catherine Hakim
In her intelligent and endearingly frank collection of essays, The Stranger in the Mirror, Jane Shilling explores what it means to be a no-longer-youthful female in a world obsessed with staying young, and puts the aging process under the microscope. Jane writes about books for the Telegraph and has been described as ‘a latter-day Jane Austen’ by the New Statesman.
In her explosive new book, Honey Money, Catherine Hakim reveals how erotic capital is just as influential in life as how rich, clever, educated or well-connected we are. She calls for us to recognise the economic and social value of erotic capital, and to truly acknowledge beauty and pleasure, as doing so would change the role of women in society, getting them a better deal in both public and private life.
Chaired by Caroline Beck.
