Soraya Chemaly | Author & Executive Director of The Representation Project

 
 

Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning journalist and author whose writing appears regularly in media around the world. Her work centres around defining what it means to be a woman in a world built by men. Her narrative skill, careful research, and humorous tone have been described by the New Yorker as "relentless and revelatory." In her book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger, Soraya uses these skills to offer a critical look at the social construction of anger and its effects on women's lives. Soraya and host Eva Hartling share an invigorating conversation about why women should be angry, the 'steps backwards' we have taken when it comes to gender equity, which have now been further amplified by the impact of the pandemic, and the many other nuances of living in the 'boxes' that society has created for women.
