This group, now in its fifteenth year, meets fortnightly to explore the place of women in the world. We look at women's achievements and what has held them back, in a wide range of different settings and periods. A session where we look at current issues is followed by a presentation. Members of the group take it in turns to research and introduce a subject, though this is not an absolute requirement of membership. Specific topics presented will depend on the interests of members; last year topics included Eleanor of Acquitaine; Pains for Beauty (looking at whalebone corsets, bound feet, etc); and Feminism. We have relevant outings in the summer term, and Christmas and summer lunches are held in the coordinators' homes.
