Award-winning journalist Alison Bass discusses her memoir,
Brassy Broad: How one journalist helped pave the way to #MeToo
Alison Bass’s memoir tells the story of how she overcame significant obstacles to become one of the first journalists in the country to write about sexual misconduct by men in positions of power. (She was the first reporter at The Boston Globe to write about the molestation of children by Catholic priests – a decade ahead of the Spotlight investigation chronicled in the 2016 movie). The narrative is framed by her experience growing up in Bryn Gweled, an unusual cooperative community that taught her to challenge the status quo. Join Bass in discussing the stories that inform her gripping memoir.
