In support of this pupil-led organisation
championing better access to education for
girls worldwide, three impressive individuals
tell us about their efforts to empower
fellow women through their work and daily
lives. Anya Hindmarch CBE, renowned
fashion designer, describes her work to
raise awareness of environmental and
health issues alongside building her brand
from scratch; Professor Linda Scott from
Oxford’s SaÏd Business School talks about
the Double X Economy, a concept she
created to express the global economy in
terms of women – as consumers, investors,
donors and workers; and Charlotte Boyle,
non-executive Director of Coca Cola,
talks about her current role and previous
positions with The Zygos Partnership and
Goldman Sachs. Each short talk will be
followed by a Q&A; drinks will be served
ahead of the presentations from 7.00pm in
The Ogston Music School.
