The Clare Burton Memorial Lecture 2012: For Love...
Building on the rich legacy of Clare Burton’s research and advocacy for women in the workforce, Jane Caro and Catherine Fox will bring their own take on the idea of “for love…”. As authors of The F Word: How we learnt to swear by feminism, their approach blends decades of experience as workers, mothers and commentators with insights on how it actually feels to confront the confusing signals about being female at work, at home and in our society..
Together they will explore what the idea of ‘doing it all for love’ means to women and their lives, their status and treatment, weaving in perspectives on the latest media trends, the zeitgeist and a sharp skewering of the accepted view of gender relations. They will also track the way beliefs about what drives women and their ‘innate’ abilities overtly and covertly undermines their ability to be given a fair go in the work place.
