Women Talking by Hugh Taft-Morales
Speaker: Hugh Taft-Morales
From mundane mansplaining to systemic silencing, men regularly ignore the voices of women. That is made tragically clear in Miriam Toews’ book Women Talking and director Sarah Polley’s 2022 film, which the book inspired. The #MeToo movement has produced some progress. But when it comes to who commands an audience, we are still a long way from gender equity. Hugh Taft-Morales is fully aware of the irony that he, a man, will be talking. Hugh Taft-Morales is Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society, a humanist community dedicated to honoring the worth and dignity of every human being, cultivating character, nurturing ethical relationships and caring networks, building community capacity, and social justice.
