these words, creating an entertaining and irresistible collection of feminist
tales for our time.

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. Dont
worry if youve 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 [email protected] to get
a copy.
