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 event, including lunch and refreshments, is free, but booking is essential as places are limited.
