The allure of the city is powerful, but not universally accessible. For many women, it can be exclusionary, exploitative and dangerous.
The Feminist Art of Walking
Morag Rose shows how women can and do claim their place in the public realm.
Setting off to explore cities and towns across Britain, she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to the wider resonances of women’s rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes.
Craving connection and comradeship, she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking, celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance.
By experiencing the pleasures and pains of urban exploration, she shows us how to reconnect with and become enchanted by our streets.
Join Rose for a short level walk from Llyfrgell Maindee Library at 12.30pm on Saturday 29th November - then
back to the library for Jo's homemade vegan soup and the book launch from 2pm to 4pm. All welcome.
