Thu 22 January 2015

Lucy Cavendish College

To celebrate our College's 50th Anniversary year in 2015, in addition to our regular Thursday talks, we are running a series of lectures at Lucy Cavendish College from outstanding women of achievement. Tickets are open to the general public and free of charge, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Ceri Goddard is named in the Telegraph’s 100 most powerful women in Britain, during her four years as chief executive of the Fawcett Society, the country’s leading campaign group for women’s rights, Goddard led the fight in the battle for maternity rights and equal pay. She launched a legal case against the Government, claiming that Treasury officials broke the law by failing to carry out an assessment of whether the plans for heavy spending cuts would hit women hardest.

In 2014 she joined the Young Foundation as Director of Gender where she now leads work to tackle structural gender inequalities.
