Bri Lee, an esteemed writer, speaker, and relentless advocate for women’s rights and social justice, will take the stage at the Women in Leadership Summit 2023 in Sydney in October with her session, Who gets to be smart and why this matters for women.
Boasting a deep foundation in law, Bri’s journey has seen her in roles as diverse as a judge’s associate to a criminal lawyer, granting her an unparalleled lens into the intricacies of the legal system and its ramifications on marginalized groups. Her critically lauded memoir, Eggshell Skull, sheds lights on her personal voyage within this system, confronting its entrenched culture of sexism and harassment.
With her subsequent release, Who Gets to Be Smart, Bri dives into the elitism of knowledge, investigating how institutions guard knowledge and penalize those left outside the gates. This pivotal session will unravel the intricate web of power, privilege, and their implications on education and knowledge accessibility, underlining their profound significance for women in Australia.
