The Duchess of Sussex joined a discussion on race and gender issues in the media with the founder of a new non-profit news organization focused on gender equity. Reversing the roles, Meghan interviewed journalist, cofounder, and CEO of The 19th*, Emily Ramshaw, to close out a week-long virtual summit featuring conversations with women from the worlds of public policy and leadership.
Reflecting on the impact a patriarchal media can have, the duchess pointed out that the word “suffragette,” which describes a woman who organized for the right to vote, was originally coined as a term of belittlement by a British newspaper in 1906. “What I found so fascinating is that this was before digital media and before the online space and before things could travel around the world with rapid fire,” she said of an article she had recently read.
Meghan was one of many high-profile speakers to attend the five-day The 19th* Represents Summit, joining an impressive list that included Hillary Clinton, Democratic vice presidential nominee, Meryl Streep, Stacey Abrams, and Melinda Gates. Being interviewed by the duchess, says Ramshaw, was “a completely surreal experience.” During the conversation, the pair, who are both parents, briefly spoke about juggling motherhood.
