Next Reading Women Book Club: 5 June 2018

About the event

Reading Women Book Club Next One: Tuesday 5th June, 1-2pm (And every first Tuesday of the month) Reading Room, Sheffield Central Library

Inspired by Joanna Walsh’s Twitter campaign #readwomen, and as part of our Year of Publishing Women in 2018, we’re proud to launch Reading Women, a reading group dedicated to some of the most extraordinary recently-published literary fiction by women.

The And Other Stories team meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 1pm in the Reading Room at Sheffield Central Library. Do join us – we would love to meet you and hear your thoughts. Men are welcome too. The next date for your diaries is Tuesday 5th June, and we’ll be reading Alicia Kopf’s Brother in Ice.

We alternate And Other Stories titles with a range of other brilliant books by women writers from across the world – we’re thinking of the likes of Leonora Carrington, Jessie Greengrass, Nawal El Saadawi and Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay.

What’s more, we’d love to support other reading groups around the UK (or the world!) focusing on women authors. From February, we’ll be offering the first And Other Stories titles we’ll be reading – Joanna Walsh’s Worlds from the Word’s End, Ann Quin’s The Unmapped Country and Alicia Kopf’s Brother in Ice – as a discounted bundle. And bookshops and group organisers: get in touch if you want some prompts for discussion!

Reading Women is open to all – do join us.
