    Fortnightly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (5 Weeks), Spring (5 Weeks), Summer (5 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 16
  • Start date: 07 October 2020
  • Description:

    This group, now in its ninth year, meets fortnightly to explore and discuss the place of women. It looks at how it has changed, their achievements and what has held them back, in a wide range of different settings and periods. Specific topics will depend on the interests of members and what they can offer. Members take it in turns to research and introduce a subject, though this is not an absolute requirement of membership. In a current affairs session we look at present day issues before the presentation, followed by a coffee break. Last year topics included Women in Sport, Pearl Buck, Women and Domestic Violence and Martha Gelhorn. We hope to have outings in the summer term. Christmas and summer lunches will be held in members' homes. Members will be asked for a small donation to cover the hire of the data projector for the year.

    Note: The Autumn and Spring terms will be held via video-conference (Zoom).
