Tuesday, March 13, 2018

Cemex Auditorium Map
Sponsored by:
Stanford Libraries and the Clayman Institute for Gender Research
In conversation with Stanford Alum Gretchen Carlson, author of the newly released
book Be
Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back, a moderated discussion
with Professor Shelley Correll, the Barbara D. Finberg Director of the Clayman Institute
for Gender Research.
When Gretchen Carlson made the decision to
"walk off the set" and speak up about sexual harassment in the workplace, she jumped
off a cliff by herself, but it led to a new calling: empowering women to reclaim their
power against any injustice.
After the former Miss America, mother
of two, and star news anchor stood up, and spoke out, women all over the world joined
the movement and began to take back their lives, careers, and dignity. Gretchen became
the voice for the voiceless. BE FIERCE shares Gretchen’s
experience and powerful stories from the thousands of women who have reached out to
her who refuse to submit to intimidation of any kind. Gretchen will also share the
wisdom and research of lawyers, psychologists, and other experts helping to confront
this problem and advance what has become an international conversation about women
refusing to shut up and sit down.
Named one of TIME magazine’s
100 most influential people in the world for 2017, GRETCHEN CARLSON
is one of the nation's most successful and recognized news anchors and a tireless
advocate for female empowerment. She’s also graced the cover of Time and
Good Housekeeping magazines and is a marquee columnist for Time's
Motto. Since making the decision to speak up against sexual harassment, she sparked
an international conversation about the pervasiveness of the issue and in doing so
discovered every woman has a story.
