Topic: What are we saying when we say the F-word?

Lecturer: Adriana Zaharijević

Place: Museum of Literature and Performing Arts Sarajevo

This lecture will reflect on feminist developments in the region over the last few years – since the book Somebody said Feminism? How Feminism Affected the Women of 21st Century was published. Important, but also somewhat controversial questions on feminism will be discussed – questions that might not have been very relevant to our lives until recently.
