Novel Women assemble at the ICA on Wed 16 Feb
January 21st, 2011
Women are well represented, both behind the scenes in publishing, and at the checkout in terms of fiction sales. So why is it that when it comes to lists and prizes, novels written by men still dominate?
A fantastic panel will assemble at the ICA on Wed 16 Feb, 7pm, to debate this question: Kate Mosse, best-selling author and co-founder of the Orange Prize, Lennie Goodings from Virago Press, Baroness Helena Kennedy, QC and judge of the Orange and Samuel Johnson prizes, Antonia Byatt, Director of Literature at the Arts Council and former Director of the Women’s Library, and Professor Mary Evans researcher in literature and gender at the Gender Institute.
