This event is part of SAL's Women You Need to Know (WYNK) Series.
Ijeoma Oluo, named one of the most influential people in Seattle by Seattle Magazine and Editor-At-Large at the Establishment -a media platform run and funded by women, will moderate the Q&A with Roxane Gay.
Roxane Gay is an author and cultural critic whose work has garnered international acclaim for its reflective, no-holds-barred exploration of feminism and social criticism. With a deft eye on modern culture, she critiques its ebb and flow with both wit and ferocity.
Gay's collection of essays, Bad Feminist: Essays (2014), explores modern feminism; it was named by NPR as one of the best books of the year, and Salon declared it “trailblazing.” Her debut novel, An Untamed State (2014), was long listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. Her forthcoming book, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, is an examination of body image. Gay was just named one of the writers of a new comic book series, Black Panther: World of Wakanda.
Roxane is a contributing op-ed writer for the New York Times, co-editor of PANK and was the non-fiction editor at The Rumpus. Her writing has also appeared in McSweeney’s, The Nation and many other publications.
