BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN
Thursday 17th January
When
Mitt Romney claimed he had been given “binders full of women” by women’s
organisations in Massachusetts, it was the moment that launched a
thousand Tumblr memes. From the team that brought you Catechism: Poems
for Pussy Riot, it also inspired this – a binder full of outspoken poems
by writers who identify as female, trans, intersex or gender-neutral.
At
this special reading, join contributors to the anthology as they share
their work, their wit and their anger. All proceeds from the sale of
these riots of glitter glue go to Rape Crisis UK and the Michael Causer
Foundation.
With glitter glue, feminist cupcakes and
readings/performances from Sarah Crewe, Nia Davies, Sarah Hesketh,
Kirsten Irving, Rowena Knight, Agnes Marton, Sophie Mayer, Nat Raha,
Shelagh Rowan-Legg, Jacqueline Saphra, Alison Winch and more!
