Blimey oh Riley. We’ve already had record viewing figures for my British Library talk this morning. As part of their ‘Unfinished Business – the Fight for Women’s Rights’, I decided to do a talk called ‘A Room of One’s Own – I Wish!’
The talk was all about how it is nigh on impossible to be taken seriously if you are a woman from a working class background, and you want to write. But Nicola and Amanda from Kirklees Libraries kept us on the cheery side of things – and we all shared our favourite female working class writers, playwrights and screen writers.
Loads of book tips and viewing tips for you all. Grab your pens and jot them down…
Here is the link – for those of you who missed it and who want to watch it on Catch Up.
