Ann Friedman

Join Ann Friedman for a conversation about online criticism, gender, and media, about the ways that women’s work is affected by the onslaught of hate, and why it’s a free press/media issue. also, until there are some systemic solutions, how individuals can (attempt to) deal with it. Ann’s talk will be followed by a Q&A with Sara Button, editor of The Dentonite.
