DANGEROUS WOMEN
A one-day symposium featuring a programme of women writers to mark International Women’s Day. Join us to explore in fiction and fact women identified as dangerous--creatively, socially and politically.
This will be the fourth event sponsored by IASH and Scottish PEN in celebration of International Women’s Day. We are pleased to also acknowledge the support of the Principal of the University of Edinburgh.
This event, including lunch and refreshments, is free, but booking is essential as places are limited.
