In Her Shoes – Women Who Resist

15th October, 2016, 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Photograph of books from the Violence Against Women Collection at GWL

Stories of women successfully resisting incidents of harassment, intimidation and assault are hard to to find in the media, contributing to the image of women as helpless. In her book, Her Wits About Her, Denise Caignon discusses how women were as hungry for tales of success as she was.

In this empowering session we will read and hear powerful and positive stories from Caignon’s book and zines from our collection to explore the various strategies women have used to defend themselves against harassment.

This session is FREE for women only, 16+ and as space is limited booking is required.
