By the Book: International Women's Day And How to #EmbraceEquity In Publishing

In line with the theme for 2023's International Women's Day - #EmbraceEquity - we look at book publishing, and what needs to happen to reach gender equity within the field on all levels. We speak with Flavia Alves Bravin, board member of PublisHer, a community of female publishing leaders who seek to address the inequalities in the field. We close off the conversation with recommendations of writings by women to check out.
