Joanne Harris is an acclaimed novelist and was Chair of the Society of Authors between 2019 and 2024.
Polite and Obedient Is No Way To Correct a Power Imbalance
reflects Joanne's view that activism is necessarily uncomfortable.
Barriers to equality can only be overcome through agitation and (in Joanne's own words) 'this is why the suffragettes made such a nuisance of themselves'.
The
Women and Power
series explores the way women gain, regard and exercise power. The work was created in conversation with 7 women who have experience of holding power in arts, literature, heritage and culture:
Rebecca Salter, President Royal Academy of Arts;
Carolyn McCall, CEO ITV;
Ngozi Fulani, CEO Sistah Space;
Maggi Hambling, painter and sculptor;
Joanne Harris, novelist and Chair, Society of Authors;
Julia Hoggett, CEO London Stock Exchange;
Heather Hancock, Master of St John's College Cambridge.
