The Woman Reader: Belinda Jack on Reading Practices Across Cultures and Centuries
Thursday, 13 September 2012
Blenheim Palace Literary Festival, Woodstock, 12 noon
Women’s reading has been a cause of controversy across the ages, with many men fearing it would lead women to neglect their duties and even that it would make them sexually licentious. Belinda Jack, author of The Woman Reader, explains how despite this, there were always men and women who promoted women’s literacy and were often prepared to face considerable risk to do so. Jack introduces us to a series of women with a passion for reading and books – from a Babylonian princess to New England mill girls. She also explores modern reading trends among men and women and censorship on reading in countries such as Iran.
