 The next book club will be held on Thursday, 2nd of May at 7:30pm in Bewleys cafe. All are welcome!
As chosen by the last book club's attendees, the play of the month is: The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. You can find the script online for free, or probably also printed. There's a HBO TV series, or you could go to see the play (let us know if you find an Irish production this month!) "I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried that we don't think about them. . . . So I decided to talk to women about their vaginas, to do vagina interviews, which became vagina monologues. I talked with over two hundred women. I talked to old women, young women, married women, single women, lesbians, college professors, actors, corporate professionals, sex workers, African American women, Hispanic women, Asian American women, Native American women, Caucasian women, Jewish women. At first women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy. But once they got going, you couldn't stop them."

Want to get involved? Want to tell us what we should be doing? Now’s your chance….! ... Our 2nd volunteer meeting will take place at 7pm on Thursday, February 16th at the Stag's head pub. We will be talking about our activities, giving you a chance to share your opinion and gathering your feedback on the IFN. It will also be an opportunity to meet like-minded people over pints, share experiences and make new friends. In future we would like to hold monthly volunteer meetings. We would like to revive the IFN’s old Feminism in the Pub series, but we can't do that without you guys! Come along, air your views and make your suggestions.
We’re right there with you!
Everyone is welcome and we would love to see you there! |
