Storyhouse Women: How to Be a F*cking Lady

What does it mean to be a “lady” in a world that still expects women and femmes to shrink, smile, and stay silent? 

Join us for How to Be a F*cking Lady, a sharp, fearless evening of radical honesty, expert insights, and unapologetic dialogue. This isn’t about table manners or dress codes — it’s about negotiating power, identity, and survival in a world shaped by misogyny and unconscious bias. 

Hosted by: Dr. Katie Edwards – writer, academic, broadcaster, and cultural critic – known for dismantling patriarchal nonsense with both intellect and wit.
Katie will be joined by a dynamic panel of voices.

Together, we’ll unpack questions like:
🧠 How do you negotiate your life around unconscious bias tied to misogyny?
💥 What does success look like when the system was never designed for you to win?
💄 And what the hell does “being a lady” mean in 2025 anyway? 

Expect truth bombs, hard questions, laughter, maybe some swearing, and absolutely no patience for performative feminism.

This event will be a varied combination of expert talks, panel discussion, debate and discussion groups.
