Feminist Book Club Glasgow

We are an informal book club with a focus on feminist authors and books. Future reads are set by the group. You should be able to get a copy via Glasgow Libraries.

• Collage Poetry and Art creative evening. Tuesday 11th of February from 6pm this time. We'll be recycling newspapers, magazines etc to create some art and poetry with the guidance of our collage artist Emma. All materials provided but please feel free to bring any clippings etc with you. In our usual space in the Mitchell Library on the ground floor.

• Letters: a writing workshop with Margaux Vialleron. For February, you are invited to write a letter, to yourself, to someone, to a stranger. Join us at the Mitchell Library on Tuesday 18th February rom 6pm for a writing workshop and conversation with Margaux Vialleron, author of The Yellow Kitchen and Breaststrokes. Margaux will take you through some free-writing exercises before exploring the letter writing form, in a relaxed and inclusive setting. Bring whatever materials you are most comfortable to write with, whether that's in paper or digital forms.

Margaux's second novel, Breaststrokes, is a story about consent and desires and can be found at your local library or favourite bookshop. It will also become available in paperback from 13th February 2025. You can buy the upcoming paperback copy Bookshop.Org and Waterstones when it comes out.

• BOOK CHAT. Wordslut by Amanda Montell. Tuesday 11th March at 6.30pm in the Mitchell Library's Let's Talk Space on the ground floor.

Sometimes a little trip to the pub after for anyone wishing to join.
