This group, now in its eleventh 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 Frida Kahlo, Beryl Markham, Forgotten Wives and a discussion on matriarchies. 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.
