The Trouble Club: Caitlin Moran & Lois Shearing

February 15, 2025

15th February 2025
2pm
Manchester Central Exchange Auditorium

Caitlin Moran has hilariously documented the pot-holed road of womanhood from teenage sweat to midlife reinvention. She’ll join us at The Trouble Club in Manchester to discuss how she’s so brilliantly chronicled the journey and kept us laughing along the way.

We’ll also dive into Caitlin’s icons from the celebs she adored in her early years to the personal mentors who have shaped her incredible writing career. We’ll discuss what kind of support we owe to the next generation and how her icons have changed as the years have progressed. There will also be lots of time for Q&A, so get your questions ready!

Caitlin Moran is an award-winning columnist for the Times and the author of multi-award-winning bestseller How to Be a Woman which has been published in 28 countries, and won the British Book Awards’ Book of the Year 2011. Her two volumes of collected journalism, Moranthology and Moranifesto, were Sunday Times bestsellers, and her novel, How to Build a Girl, debuted at Number One.

Our second speaker of the day is the incredible Lois Shearing who will join us to discuss the significant roles women are starting to play in far-right movements. From tradwives to femtrolls, Lois will talk us through how and why women join these movements.

This will be our biggest event to date and it’s taking place in Manchester, the home of our second Trouble location.

Don’t worry London members, the event will take place in the afternoon so that you can be back to London on the same day. Or stay, and enjoy the delights of the city.
