  • Description:

    This group, now in its thirteenth 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 current affairs session where we look at present day 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 Effie Gray, women travellers and a discussion on Masculinity. We have relevant outings in the summer term, and Christmas and summer lunches are held in the coordinators' homes.

  • Format: Presentations and Discussion

  • Ruth and Hilary have a wide interest in women's lives and contribution to society as well as current issues affecting them, and enjoy both sharing interests and learning from others.
