For centuries past, and all across the world, there are words that have defined and decried us. Words that raise our hackles, fire up our blood; words that tell a story. In this blazing cauldron of a book, sixteen bestselling, award-winning writers have taken up their pens and reclaimed these words, creating an entertaining and irresistible collection of feminist tales for our time.
Stories by Margaret Atwood, Linda Grant, Emma Donoghue, Stella Duffy, Susie Boyt, Ali Smith, Helen Oyeyemi, Rachel Seiffert, CN Lester, Caroline O’Donoghue, Chibundu Onuzo, Eleanor Crewes, Kirsty Logan, Kamila Shamsie, Claire Kohda, Annie Hodson
How to get the book:
If you can, try to get your hands on a copy via your local independent bookshop or library as a physical book, e-book or audiobook.
As this is a participatory event by nature, not a performance, anyone who doesn't engage - which can via audio, text, or any method accessible to you - will be automatically removed to ensure safety of all participants. Don’t worry if you’ve not finished the book in time for the session, having read some or most of it will help you take part in our discussion.
Live transcription will be enabled on Zoom for all our events. If you need a transcript after the event, please email us at info@vaginamuseum.co.uk to get a copy.
