Sheila Rowbotham event

Sheila Rowbotham is in this year's Marxism Festival line-up talking about her new book "Dreamers of a New Day: Women who invented the 20th Century". The event is in central London from 1-5 July. Website here

I went to this event a couple of years ago and it was excellent (although does involve dodging many SWP recruiters )

The next London feminism conf is in late October I think: I'd love to go to that too. And I've already decided to take DD on the next Reclaim the Night march, but I think that's in November.

Would be fab to have some MN feminist meetups!

I've only been the once, but I thought it was bloody brilliant, even the v dry talks on economics I went to

I used to go every year! It's great, isn't it? I've seen some brilliant speakers.

There's no schedule on the website yet. I'll probably struggle to go for more than one day, so might get a ticket on the door for the day Sheila is speaking. Slavoj Zizek is always good value too!

Might you go to this year's Marxism, Lenin? (now there's a sentence I never thought I'd write )

I really fancy going again but am too chicken to go on me own
