Jill Soloway: “She Wants It: Desire, Power and Toppling the Patriarchy”

When Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning director, writer and activist Jill Soloway’s parent came out as transgender, Soloway, who now identifies as genderqueer and nonbinary, pushed through Hollywood’s male-dominated landscape to create the groundbreaking Amazon TV series “Transparent.” Exploring identity, love and sexuality through the dynamics of a complicated Jewish-American family, the profoundly resonant series birthed a new cultural consciousness — and created an awakening in Soloway, too. Hear Soloway’s personal and professional coming-of-age story – from staff writer and straight, married mother of two to in-demand TV writer and director identifying as queer and nonbinary. Get a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the #metoo movement and its aftermath and learn why the arrival of Soloway’s memoir “She Wants It” – with their ideas about gender, inclusion, desire and consent – is critically important at this moment.
