A History of Women in 101 Objects
Wednesday, 21st August , 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Join us and our friends at the Goethe-Institut Glasgow in shedding light on a neglected history as we invite Annabelle Hirsch to discuss her book A History of Women in 101 Objects with GWL’s Donna Moore.
From a hunger strike medal to a bidet, the Amazon rainforest to the plantations of South Carolina, Simone de Beauvoir to Beyoncé, Hirsch’s book tells a story of women as never seen before. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Hirsch expand upon her witty and illuminating work, translated into English last year by Eleanor Updegraff.
About the author:
Annabelle Hirsch, born in 1986, has German and French roots. She studied art history, dramatics and philosophy in Munich and Paris, and works as a cultural journalist for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) and various other magazines.
