It´s great to see women using their power and position (on a platform like Chanel) to share and promote the "thinking", the ideas, the literary and philosophy works in an open way for women. I had the opportunity to give some philosophy classes in Mexico for medium and old aged women without formal education, it was hard but wonderful to discover for them their own understanding of ideas while reading, and for me to find the way to explain in simple words the concepts and arguments, and to discuss in class, their intellectual interest emerged in more and more secure words and questions.
Admiro a estas mujeres, me encanta esta iniciativa. Me llega muy de cerca que este Jeanette Winterson, me gustan mucho sus libros, la forma en como domina las palabras.
There is something deliciously subversive about Winterson's lecture here – a need for public libraries, the pressures on women to put on a show in masculine spaces, many women internalise conventions & are in the service of patriarchy…we are here to support one another…we need to use our privilege and power in the service of good…I am in awe of her presence on that stage as her animated, inhabited self 🧡
My dear friend Char… I believe that in old civilizations there are no space to feminism or chauvinism… since they're counterparts and in an advanced society women and men are equals, same rights… but in their history line it may was a time for fighting for rights… until the rise of equality rights emerged…
Hi! Why is the video different (way shorter) than the podcast episode? I look it up here to be able to read Jeanette words and I find out some parts have been cut out!
There was mention of equal pay by knightley but its not just that its many things, education, other peoples abuse of power or inaction of power. The varying degree of womens rights from country to country. womens health awareness theres many things and still not enough done. Any women who has a position of power needs to leverage it for other women, and not be taking it for granted. Its important to be vocal on these issues.
Oh dear, oh dear oh dear… men… to talk about men as if all were privileged… there were a small minute group that lived a certain life. But the vast majority lived lived without conversation… Virginia stated she was from a well to do background… with a huge library. Hence one can have the conversations from which so many were excluded… no need for libation of any kind… the elephant in the room was… abuse… which is probably the discussion to have over the years. Between the sexes. But that is a different subject. In our time, the idea of the ideal woman has all but vanished. For better or worse. What do we get to replace the angel with? One might not like the angel, but still a void was left, much like with Nietzsche’s dead god. The trick is to fill the void with something substantial, which is rarely done. Leaving a void I deem immoral. It’s unfair to let people swim in open sea. Come with a solution, or do not come at all.

Jeanette absolutely blew me away with her speech, what a wonderful writer and speaker she is.
This is such a refreshing conversation.
I also want to discuss things and get into these type of conversations.
Thank you for making this happen!
est une femme Adulte avec deux enfants … se coupe les cheveux comme un acte désespére d’être jeune
Oh thank you so much! Such an electric and beautiful conversation about the great Virginia Woolf, my hero.
Jeanette is my all time favourite author. No writer makes me want to be better, live broader, feel more 🥰🥰
Why 'Killing the Angel' declaration sounds so much similar to Nietzsche's 'God is dead'
