Women are Legends too: Reimaging Fantasy with Laura Bates

We've all heard the legends of King Arthur, Excalibur and the Round Table. But what if it wasn't him who really united the kingdom of Britain? What if it was a powerful knight who also happened to be a woman? Laura Bates gives the inside scoop on Sisters of Fire and Fury, the sequel to her bestselling Sisters of Fury, conjuring a world of old magic, battles, and a mythic showdown - and explores how we can move through fear to find our courage.

This is a Schools event that is available for livestream only.
