Annie Lennox and Julia Gillard, the first woman Prime Minister of Australia, are just two of the talented women lined up for the ninth Women of the World Festival (WOW) at the Southbank Centre. Jude Kelly has also called on activist Angela Davis, writer Naomi Klein, comedians Jo Brand and Sandi Toksvig, actress Maisie Williams, singer Lily Allen, Women's Equality Party co-founder Catherine Mayer and many other inspiring women to debate everything from global feminism to toxic masculinity. Through eight major events the two day festival invites us to take stock of where equality is now and what comes next.
