Many historians believe that the rise of the female consumer had an important role to play in providing women with access to public life.

Speakers: Elaine Showalter, writer and critic, and Professor Emerita of English at Princeton University; Alexandra Shulman, editor, British Vogue; Rachel Bowlby, author, Shopping with Freud.
