Holly Baxter and Rhiannon Cosslett (2014 event)
Co-founders of The Vagenda blog, journalists Rhiannon Cosslett and Holly Baxter ended up with an instant hit; the blog received over 7 million views in year one and has received votes of approval from the likes of Caitlin Moran and Laurie Penny. In this hour long event, filmed live at the 2014 Edinburgh International Book Festival, the two women discuss the blog, their campaigning new book and how they turned a high-pitched cacophony of negativity about women into something incredibly positive.
You can also watch a short interview with Holly and Rhiannon filmed in Charlotte Square Gardens here on our website, and both recordings are also available on our YouTube channel.
