SUMMARY:Folklore & Women: The power of folklore in reclaiming female storie
 s
LOCATION:The County Assembly Rooms
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 make 
 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 shapeshifte
 r\, and the maiden across different traditions\, examining the societal no
 rms they were created to enforce and how feminist thinkers have reshaped t
 hem into symbols of resistance and possibility.\n\nFinally\, we will ask w
 hy we continually return to ancient stories to tell new ones – does this
  suggest that we’re out of new stories\, or is it a part of a longstandi
 ng literary tradition in women’s writing to look back\, to subvert domin
 ant myths\, and to challenge the patriarchal ideas embedded in our society
 ?\n\nThis talk is likely to contain mature themes\, including references t
 o historical cases of violence and sexual assault.\n\nDoors open at 7pm\, 
 talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat\n\nFollow us o
