Feminist bloggers Zerlina Maxwell and Chloe Angyal will speak on a University of Wisconsin-Madison panel Wednesday, as part of Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month event series.
The speakers will discuss sexual assault in the media and what it means to be a feminist in gender-biased media, according to a statement from PAVE.
Both bloggers contribute to the Feministing blog, an online community that specializes in feminist writing and commentary, according to the blog’s website.
Additionally, Maxwell has made numerous television appearances focused on discussing rape with men, as opposed to solely helping women protect themselves from being raped, according to the statement.
Angyal currently writes about various topics involving women, such as women in politics and sexual assault prevention, according to the statement.
The panel will take place Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Science Hall.
