How to Build a Girl - Caitlin Moran - Women's Equality Party

The Women's Equality Party launch their election campaign with a celebrity fundraiser hosted with 5x15 in May 2016. Caitlin Moran addressed the audience at Central Methodist Hall. (intro by Sandi Toksvig) Caitlin Moran was brought up on a council estate in Wolverhampton where she was home-educated. She published a children’s novel, 'The Chronicles of Narmo', at the age of 16, then became a columnist at 'The Times' at the age of 18, where she was a Columnist, Interviewer and awarded Critic of the Year. Her multi-award-winning bestseller 'How To Be a Woman' was published in 25 countries, was a 'New York Times' bestseller and won the British Book Awards Book of the Year. Her second book, 'Moranthology', was a Sunday Times bestseller, and she recently published her autobiographical novel 'How To Build A Girl'. With her sister, she co-writes the Channel 4 sitcom 'Raised by Wolves'. “Now is the time to put our heads above the parapet,” said Sandi Toskvig, who co-founded the party with Catherine Mayer in March 2015. “Let’s do it for our daughters and our sons. Join me at the barricades.” 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations. There are only two rules - no scripts and only 15 minutes each.
