39. Dr Jill Liddington: Writing Women Up North
When we think about women’s writing in the north, we often think of the Brontës. Yet, beyond the Brontës, there have been so many northern women who wrote compellingly about their own lives.
Join author Jill Liddington for a revealing talk on some of the fascinating northern women writers who she has introduced us to; from icons such as Anne Lister, who wrote five-million-word diaries, to Selina Cooper, one of the 29,000 Lancashire women cotton workers who signed and took their suffrage petition down to Westminster.
This event has a limited number of bursary tickets available for people who might
not otherwise be able to afford them. You can apply here.
This event is part of our Soft Power strand.
