Tickets for 2018’s Bristol Women’s Literature Festival are now on sale via Watershed Bristol’s website
Fans of contemporary, feminist, classic and YA writing can book tickets to see writers as diverse as Patrice Lawrence, Louise Doughty and Sheila Rowbotham as they discuss their own work, the place of women in publishing today, and the relationship writers have with their readers.
Over the weekend, attendees can rediscover their love of Frankenstein with Professor Marie Mulvey-Roberts. They can discuss the joy of talking about books with the Read Women project team. Together we’ll celebrate the single woman with Joanna Scutts, assess the legacy of #MeToo in the 100th year of UK women’s suffrage with Samira Ahmed, step back in time to 1920s Paris and much, much more…
