London Feminist Network Hosts the Feminist Book Group
Third Tuesday of Every Month
Upstairs from 7pm
This women-only feminist book group is run by members of the London Feminist Network and pro-feminist women are welcome to join them. They meet from 7pm to about 9pm.
"We aim to work out the list of books well in advance in order to give time to obtain and then read them. (Scroll down for ideas about how to get the books if you are having difficulty.) Generally we add another book to the list at each meeting, after a short discussion in which everyone is free to suggest books."
For details about the group, including books they've read in the past, you can go to their dedicated page on the London Feminist Network website: London Feminist Network Book Group webpage.
