Dr Elinor Cleghorn and Kathryn Bromwich discuss how and why our patriarchal society has failed women - from the misdiagnosis of chronic illness to the social othering of single women

7.00pm-9.00pm Fort Road Bar

In Unwell Women Dr Elinor Cleghorn examines how male dominance in the medical profession has failed women for centuries, illuminating the problems as well as the possible solutions to a broken system.

Journalist and novelist Kathryn Bromwich's At the Edge of the Woods is a beautiful and mysterious novel about what happens when a woman throws off the constraints and expectations of society and begins a quest for selfhood through solitude.

The two will be in discussion with Ryan J Smith as they attempt to unpack and make sense of illness, nature, womanhood and community.
