Caroline Criado Perez is an award-winning and bestselling writer, speaker, and campaigner, known for her impactful advocacy for women’s rights and gender equality. After graduating from Oxford University in 2012 with a degree in English Language and Literature, Caroline Criado Perez immediately made an impact by co-founding The Women’s Room, a pioneering website dedicated to increasing the representation of female experts in media. Her impactful advocacy continued with a national campaign in 2013, successfully lobbying for a female historical figure to appear on British banknotes, which led to Jane Austen’s image being featured on the £10 note by 2017. This critical campaign earned her the Liberty Human Rights Campaigner of the Year Award in 2013 and also prompted Twitter to improve its complaint procedures in response to significant online harassment.
She remains a prominent advocate for women’s rights, continuing to shape public discourse and policy through her ongoing research, writing, and campaigning.
