Something a bit different from me today. An ode to ageing like The Smashing Pumpkins…brought to you courtesy of the complicated but ultimately joyful feelings I experienced watching a band I’d worshipped in my teens perform live over 20yrs later newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/an-ode-to-...

Pray a moment of silence for Raynor Winn’s agent and editor this morning 😬

Niche complaint, but AI just spoilered Anna Karenina for me, so add that to the list of its many crimes

Last week I was honoured to be announced as the winner of the inaugural Unwin Award -- a new literary prize that recognises authors whose work has made a contribution to the world. This is the speech I gave making the case for human creativity newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/making-the...

I don’t believe in imposter syndrome - and in the latest edition of the Invisible Women newsletter, I explain why newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/the-perfec...

What do witches and babies have to do with the backlash against DEI? This week’s Invisible Women newsletter is a rather sprawling essay that represents my attempt to answer exactly that question. newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/witches-an...

If anyone is able to share a copy of the now offline FDA guidance on including underrepresented populations in clinical trials with me I’d be very grateful. Apparently ensuring medications work for women is part of the “woke” agenda now.

What if we've been talking about representation all wrong? When we talk about gender in leadership, we usually talk about female <under>representation. But what if we should instead be talking about male <over>representation?

Love to work in journalism, where you can deputy edit a political magazine, write multiple books, and write long investigative features, and a senior man in your industry still assumes you only write fluff because you’re a woman.

This is an excellent piece. I'm really pleased to see the growing pushback against meno-mongering of all kinds www.thecut.com/article/peri...

What’s the German for “finally finishing an interminable section of your book only to find that new international guidelines (the first in a decade) were released 3 days ago for the condition you’ve been writing about” 🫠

“The potential for these laws to be used in the furtherance of violence against women has been shamefully absent from the assisted dying debate.” I share @ccriadoperez.bsky.social concerns: it’s because I care about autonomy & dignity for all newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/they-just-...

This is an extraordinary piece. If you thought you had an informed opinion on assisted dying, give this a look.

On assisted dying & domestic violence: - 88% of “mercy” killers are male (& mercy killings are often very violent) - Men are overwhelmingly the survivors of “failed suicide pacts” - 76% of palliative care drs oppose change in law on assisted dying newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/they-just-...

Women are considered “old” much younger than their male counterparts: women are old at 30, whereas men don’t drop into the dreaded “old” category until they’re in their 50s. In this week's newsletter I've written about "women of a certain age"... newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/middle-cla...

Whenever I read about this case I think of the Greer quote about how women don't realise how much men hate us and I think, it's not quite right. We know, we just can't bear to think about it most of the time. Devastating account by @victoriapeckham.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/article/5dee...

So here’s a very cool thing I’ve just been told about! This is a still from a Chinese film, released in the UK today (US release was yesterday). It’s a feminist buddy comedy called Her Story and there’s a scene where one of the protagonists talks about Invisible Women on a live stream!

I can't say that I'm exactly looking forward to this event as I have very little experience chairing so I'm slightly nervous about that, but I'm certainly looking forward to hearing what the panellists have to say! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/safer-lond...
