The title of tonight’s event at LSE says it all: Women, Protest and the Nature of Female Rebellion. Hosted by  journalist Laurie Penny, who currently writes for publications such as The Independent, the talk will look at courageous women throughout history,  from the time of the Paris Commune through to the defiant ladies of Pussy Riot. There may have been years when it was unthinkable of a woman to raise her voice, but 2013 definitely isn’t one of them.

Women, Protest and the Nature of Female Rebellion runs from 6.30-8pm at the London School of Economic’s Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building.
