SUMMARY:Talk: Equal Citizenship of the Mind with Joanna Miller
DESCRIPTION:Equal Citizenship of the Mind with Joanna Miller\n7pm-8pm\, Thursday 4th September 2025\nThis talk explores women’s fight for equality at Oxford\, from the establishment of the first colleges in the 1880s\, to 1920 when women were finally accepted as fully fledged members of the university. \nIn writing her novel\, The Eights\, writer and poet Joanna Miller gained some fascinating insights into the lives of the first women at Oxford\, and the role that suffrage and World War One played in changing male attitudes. \nFrom overbearing chaperones\, to climbing in windows and finding loopholes to beat the men at rowing\, the lives of the first women at Oxford were certainly never dull! \nJoanna Miller is a writer from Hertfordshire whose debut novel The Eights will be published by Fig Tree Penguin (UK) and Putnam Books (US) in March 2025. The novel tells the story of four women from different backgrounds who are amongst the first to matriculate at Oxford University in the shadow of the First World War. \n\nJoanna’s work explores themes around female friendship\, feminism and suffrage and is inspired by museums and local history. Joanna works part-time as a bookseller and has just completed an Undergraduate Diploma in Creative Writing at Oxford. She is also graduate of Faber Academy and Escalator\, the National Centre for Writing’s talent development scheme. \nPrior to that\, Joanna established an award-winning poetry gift business and worked as an English teacher and literacy adviser. Her rhyming verse has been filmed twice by the BBC\, and in 2015 she won The Poetry Prize\, run by Bloomsbury Publishing and The National Literacy Trust. \nPicture by Lucy Noble Photography.

SUMMARY:September 2025 - Tuesday Glimpse
DESCRIPTION:Mini-tour and Glimpse of the Reading Rooms \nAre you curious about the origins of Gladstone’s Library? Would you like a sneak peek at the famous Reading Rooms? \nBuilt more than a century ago\, Gladstone’s Library is one of the hidden gems of North Wales. While the Library is open to day visitors who wish to enjoy spending time in the grounds of this Victorian Gothic landmark\, the Reading Rooms are silent study spaces usually only accessible to registered Readers or residential guests staying here overnight. \nSteeped in local and national history\, this is the UK’s only Prime Ministerial library and a rare example of a residential library. Known originally as St. Deiniol’s Library\, it was renamed in 2010 to reflect its connections with founder and four-times Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone. \nBy booking onto a Glimpse\, you will be given a talk about the building\, its purpose\, its links to UK and world affairs and the ways in which it has evolved through time. You will also be able to peep inside the Reading Rooms\, where researchers\, writers and scholars of all kinds come to make use of the extensive collections and to work in silence. \nAll Glimpses last approximately 30 minutes.
