Join Rachel Dodds from Seven Stories, as she delves into the archives of The National Centre for Children's Books. She’ll explore the significant role that women have played over the last century in shaping an inspiring and creative platform for future generations of writers and illustrators.
This fascinating collection of work includes Leila Berg, a pioneer in representing working-class families; Sita Brahmachari, who writes heartfelt stories of social and environmental justice; and Judith Kerr, who overcame a journey through Europe to find a new home.
This event is part of our 2024 Brontë Festival of Women's Writing.
This event will be livestreamed and recorded for our digital festival attendees.
