‘Between the Lines’ is the feminist book club you didn’t know you needed. A space created by women, for women; everyone is welcome and no topic off-limits. We’ll be starting with a week-by-week discussion of Florence Given’s "Women Don’t Owe You Pretty", exploring a handful of chapters at a time. From then on in we’ll remain open to suggestions whilst trying to cover a diverse range of authors, themes and genres. Both women and books have the power to change the world, so let me ask you this … Do you have a love for reading? Do you want to feel connected and empowered? Do you want to open your mind and challenge your ways of thinking? If your answer is YES (or you’re at least slightly intrigued!) let’s get together and read ‘Between the Lines’.
