Aiming to celebrate the diversity and creativity of women writers, counter the male dominance of cultural festival lineups, and promote women’s literary history, Bristol Women’s Literature Festival returns in March as committed as ever.

The 2018 festival’s events will take place in Spike Island and the Watershed from March 16 to 18, with those attending able to meet some of the UK’s best contemporary women writers.

This year’s festival will also discuss feminist activism in the 100 years since UK suffrage, celebrate women who lived solo and rediscovering Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
