This group, now in its twelfth 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. We start each class with a current affairs session where we look at present day issues. We then have a coffee break, 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 Sylvia Plath, women stained glass artists and a discussion on disclosure. We hope to have outings in the summer term. Christmas and summer lunches will also be held in the coordinators' homes.
