She is a legend of our time for all women. She spoke about the rape crisis centre she has funded and many other things.

Agh, I was in Glasgow this weekend but for entirely different reasons i couldn't jettison for Filia. I did however see Doc Stock at the airport and had a massive fangirl moment.

Oh Wow - wish I could have been there. Good on her for showing up. Are any of the talks available to watch?

I too would love to know if the talks were filmed and will be available to watch if anyone knows?

I am having such FILIA envy! I've been to most FiLIA conferences, but am working overseas for a week, so couldn't get to Glasgow for this one.

She was so wonderful. Funny, warm, passionate, angry - just everything. And so knowledgeable and intelligent too. She really is a very special human being. It was especially lovely to see the warmth of her personal relationships with so many of the women in the room - she’s truly genuinely wonderful. Every minute was magical.

Oh wow, that’s amazing, she’s incredible and for the first time in ages I’m well jel I’m in Oz and not there to join in.

Brew for all of you

Sounds amazing and I'd have loved to be there but unfortunately wasn't able to get a ticket this year.

Where is it being held next year?

How wonderful. I can imagine how emotional it would have been. I'm welling up thinking about it.
