ABOUT ABOUT

For the February meeting, UCL Laws FBC will be reading The Cost of Living by Deborah Levy.

A Guardian Best Book Of The 21st Century Winner Of The Prix Femina Etranger 2020

'I can't think of any writer aside from Virginia Woolf who writes better about what it is to be a woman' Observer

What does it mean to be free - as an artist, a woman, a mother or daughter? And what is the price of that freedom? In this dazzling memoir, Deborah Levy confronts the essential questions of modern womanhood with humour, pragmatism, and profoundly resonant wisdom.

UCL Laws Feminist Book Club

The UCL Laws Feminist Book Club brings together staff and students at all levels to talk about books in an informal setting.

We'll meet once a month during term times. You are welcome to drop in on individual sessions, or to attend regularly – whatever works for you.

The UCL Laws Feminist Book Club was set up in 2018 with the aim of creating a strong feminist network within the law school. We invite feminist students (LLB, LLM, and PhD), faculty, and staff to join us for monthly meetings in which we chat informally about a work of female-authored fiction. We have structured the group as a book club because, well, we all like to read – and we believe that it’s important to supplement our work and studies with non-academic reading. It helps to keep us grounded, enriched, and energised. The book club is an inclusive, non-hierarchical, and non-judgmental space open to all genders. Join our newsletter - http://eepurl.com/ibn6Vz.
