Marina Gerner explores the future of women's health and shines a light on innovation that matters.
About this Event

From periods and childbirth to menopause, female pain has been normalized, as society shrugs and says 'welcome to being a woman' instead of coming up with better solutions.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Join award-winning journalist Marina Gerner* as she takes an eye-opening look at the innovators challenging the status quo to deliver the healthcare solutions women need.

In her new book, The Vagina Business, Marina interviewed entrepreneurs, researchers and investors across 15 countries, exploring the future of women's health, where female-focused companies are developing products to help women at every stage of life. From a life-saving bra to non-hormonal contraception and new takes on fertility and menopause, it shines a light on innovation that matters.

Women should not be denied solutions to health issues just because people are embarrassed to talk about vaginas. We deserve much better.

Marina Gerner will be ‘In Conversation’ with Sally Howard.
