For centuries, women’s contributions have been sidelined, miscredited, or outright erased from history. What about the iconic works we celebrate today—were they truly created by the names we know, or were women’s contributions hidden behind the masks of male figures? Stories like that of Rosalind Franklin, the women of Hidden Figures, and Zelda Fitzgerald reveal how often women’s achievements have been misappropriated, their hard-earned credit handed to men who stood beside or in front of them.
Join bestselling authors Jodi Picoult (By Any Other Name) and Fiona Davis (The Stolen Queen), as they explore these overlooked narratives in a discussion moderated by bestselling author Adriana Trigiani (The Good Left Undone). From the true authorship of Shakespeare’s works to the lost contributions of ancient Egyptian female pharaohs and modern-day female archaeologists, this discussion will look at the long history of gendered barriers across industries, challenging us to imagine a future where women’s work is rightfully acknowledged and celebrated.
