Drawing on their extensive reporting, archival research, and storytelling work, Cox and Rinehart explore how power, politics, and cultural bias shape whose lives are remembered and whose are forgotten. They will discuss the craft of uncovering lost narratives, the responsibility of writers and journalists to challenge received history, and the vital role community plays in preserving women’s voices across generations. This event invites readers, writers, and history lovers to consider how reclaiming women’s stories not only reshapes the past, but strengthens our understanding of the present—and our possibilities for the future. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/bd859cc0-fb49-11f0-9a85-3dd248376d4f-rimg-w1200-h600-dcc8a08a-gmir.jpg is a journalist, author, and broadcaster who covers economic gender inequality and women’s history.
