Description

From Silicon Valley to politics and beyond, women are reshaping our world.

In anticipation of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the United States, National Geographic editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg is tapping into the magazine’s extraordinary archives to offer an inspiring look at the past, present and future of women’s lives. With 300+  stunning images from more than 50 countries, her new book, Women: The National Geographic Image Collection, is a glorious testimony to  what it means to be female, from the haunting, green-eyed "Afghan girl" who left her mark on history to the dynamic young women leading the way in the age of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. At this anticipated Toronto launch, Goldberg will share the stories behind some of the collection’s most stunning photos—and the lessons they’ve learned from its high-powered contributors, including Jane Goodall, Roxane Gay and Oprah Winfrey. She'll offer definitive proof that the future is female.

In conversation with Sarah Fulford, Editor in Chief of Toronto Life.
