WOMEN OF THE WORLD (WOW) FESTIVAL


This is one of the many events that marked the 100th Anniversary of Women's Day and Women's History Month. I couldn't possibly cover as many of them here on time as I'd like to, but this one is worth keeping on the agenda for the next and future years:

Alongside highlight performances by Annie Lennox, Paloma Faith, V V Brown, Imogen Heap, The Taylor Maids, Annie Nightingale, Sandi Toksvig and Sue Perkins, WOW – Women of the World launches its first year with speakers from across five continents. It brings together amazing stories of triumph, action, challenge and enterprise from girls of 14 to women of 80. Musicians, lawyers, scientists, members of the clergy, journalists, politicians, community activists, gardeners, school girls and coco growers share ideas for change in a weekend that climaxes with the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Women's organisations of every persuasion are represented in a great weekend of fierce debate and fantastic fun. Plus market activities, speed mentoring and networking opportunities.
Speakers include Shami Chakrabarti, Marin Alsop, Helena Kennedy QC, Kay Mellor, Caroline Lucas MP, Kate Mosse, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Kat Banyard, Juliet Stevenson, Bianca Jagger, Barb Jungr, Kate Mosse, Rosie Boycott, Joanna Trollope, and Dr Precious Lunga.
