SUMMARY:Folklore & Women: The power of folklore in reclaiming female storie
 s
LOCATION:Camberley Theatre
DESCRIPTION:How have myths and fairytales shaped feminist thought? Explore 
 the power of folklore\, its symbols and role in today’s society. With Q&
 A.\n\nFor centuries\, feminist writers and thinkers have turned to myths\,
  legends\, fairytales\, religious stories\, and cultural traditions to mak
 e sense of women’s experiences. All of these come under the umbrella of 
 ‘folklore’. This session will explore the enduring relevance of folklo
 re\, asking how these stories can be reclaimed and reimagined for the 21st
 -century feminist.\n\nWe’ll trace figures like the witch\, the shapeshif
 ter\, and the maiden across different traditions\, examining the societal 
 norms they were created to enforce and how feminist thinkers have reshaped
  them into symbols of resistance and possibility.\n\nFinally\, we will ask
  why we continually return to ancient stories to tell new ones – does th
 is suggest that we’re out of new stories\, or is it a part of a longstan
 ding literary tradition in women’s writing\, to look back\, to subvert d
 ominant myths\, and to challenge the patriarchal ideas embedded in our soc
 iety?\n\nThis talk is likely to contain mature themes\, including referenc
 es to historical cases of violence and sexual assault.\n\n**Doors open at 
 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!**\n\nSp
