Historical Event at the #LlandeiloLitFest: Suffragettes – a talk by Judith Barrow

Suffragettes – a talk by Judith Barrow

POSTED ON FEBRUARY 16, 2018 UPDATED ON FEBRUARY 8, 2018

Suffragettes – a talk by Judith Barrow  – Sunday 29th April 14:00 Fountain Fine Art Gallery

 

In her talk Judith Barrow covers the struggles that women had to endure to achieve full equality regarding suffrage; the right to vote. And she explains how the 1918 Representation of the People Act seemed a major victory for the suffragist movement, but why there were women who still saw the act as a betrayal.
Includes readings from her novel “A Tiny Hundred Threads”

Suffragettes – araith gan Judith Barrow

Disgrifiad byr

Yn ei haraith bydd Judith Barrow yn trafod y brwydrau bu’n rhaid i ferched eu goddef er mwyn ennill yr hawl i bleidleisio. Bydd hi’n egluro sut y gwelwyd Deddf Cynrychiolaeth y Bobl yn 1918 yn fuddugoliaeth enfawr i etholfreintiaeth ond paham roedd menywod yn ystyried y ddeddf yn frad.

 

Further Description

The move for women to have the vote really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded the National Union of Women’s Suffrage.  She believed in peaceful protest.

However, Fawcett’s progress was very slow and in 1903 the Women’s Social and Political Union was founded by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia. They wanted women to have the right to vote and they were not prepared to wait. The Union became better known as the Suffragettes. Members of the Suffragettes were prepared to use violence to get what they wanted and were quite happy to go to prison.

From 1909 the women, demanding the status of political prisoners, began to refuse food. The government’s response was to forcibly feed them but became concerned that the women might die in prison; thus giving the movement martyrs. But then Asquith responded with the Cat and Mouse Act. This allowed the Suffragettes to go on a hunger strike but when very weak they were released from prison. If they died out of prison, this was of no embarrassment to the government. And, because of the state of their health, the women were unable to take part in the struggles. However, as soon as they regained their strength, they were re-arrested for the most trivial of reason and the whole process started again. This, from the government’s point of view, was a very simple but effective weapon against the Suffragettes.

But then Britain and Europe was plunged into World War One in August 1914 and, in a display of patriotism, Emmeline Pankhurst instructed the Suffragettes to stop their campaign of violence and support in every way the government and its war effort.

The work done by women in the First World War was to be vital for Britain’s war effort. It was this that many believe, was the turning point and the 1918 Representation of the People Act seemed a major victory for the suffragist movements.

But this wasn’t the whole truth and many saw the act as a betrayal; it still classed them as second-class citizens to men. The 1918 Representation of the People Act gave all men over the age of 21 the right to vote (and aged 19 if the men had been on active service in the armed forces – an important point to note!)

Women only achieved full equality regarding suffrage in 1928.

Dame Millicent Fawcett is to be the first woman to be honoured with a statue in Parliament Square.  The equal rights campaigner, who dedicated her life to getting the women’s vote, will stand alongside Sir Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela. Theresa May has said Dame Millicent “continues to inspire the battle against the injustices of today. It is right and proper that she is honoured in Parliament Square alongside former leaders who changed our country. Her statue will stand as a reminder of how politics only has value if it works for everyone in society.”

Mystery Monday: “Restless Earth (Karma’s Children Book 1)” by John Dolan

12 Monday Feb 2018

Posted by Christoph Fischer in Uncategorized

Restless Earth (Karma's Children Book 1) by [Dolan, John]I’ve been waiting for the latest John Dolan book for some time and am delighted to finally be able to report back on it. I was confused to see the series link referring to “Karma’s Children”. His previous work was part of the “Time, Blood and Karma” series. And as this suggested, there are some similarities between the series, including some of the characters, but there is also the beginning of a new direction, including previously unknown protagonists.

I’m pleased to say that private investigator David Braddock returns in this excellent, dry, witty and clever ‘whodunnit”. Braddock is a fantastic character; both ambiguous and always entertaining. There are some serious undertones wrapped into the twisted and often humorous thriller; Restless Earth to me is a mystery as much as it is a running commentary on humans all over the globe, from Thailand to Britain. As the blurb of the book so truthfully puts it:

“It’s not always easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. And sometimes, there are no good guys.”

As I said , Braddock himself is an ambiguous character. Dolan’s four main characters and plotlines are all excellent creations, as well as the minor characters. From the first conversation between Braddock and the memorable Nang until the end you have excellent dialogue, sharp writing, intelligent plotting and everything perfectly woven into each other – which makes for a rewarding and rich reading experience.

For fans of his previous work (and fans of the genre in general) Dolan has inserted some great insider jokes and literary references. Not a chapter goes by where you won’t smile and think.

I can’t go into the plot as I do not want to give away the game for those who want to read previous books. Trust me, this is worth reading. Dolan and his books are literary highlights for me every year. Highly recommended.

Four men scattered across the globe. . .
One seeks pleasure
One seeks purpose
One seeks redemption
And one seeks revenge.

A wind is howling around the skyscrapers of New York, through the battlefields of Iraq, and into the bustling streets of Bangkok. It carries with it the fates of these four men: men bound together by chance and history.
Which of them – if any – will survive the tempest?

The Golden Orphans: Writing in Graham Greene’s Hand – Sat 28th April 14:30 Mimosa Art Gallery

Gary Raymond’s latest novel, The Golden Orphans, started out as an attempt to address his experiences on the edges of the Cypriot underworld, but eventually became an obsession with the craft and artistry of Graham Greene.

Join Raymond as he explores the spaces between fact and fiction, and unravels the lessons he learned from Greene’s work in the building of his own thriller. Raymond looks at how Greene incorporated innovative literary ideas into perfectly structured page turners, how he created best-selling cinema-friendly stories filled with complex philosophical ideas, and how he used the unwieldy canvasses of the underbelly of national experiences to tell exciting, unforgettable fictional stories.

Welsh Wednesdays: Llandeilo Lit Fest Event: Medieval Music

07 Wednesday Feb 2018

Posted by Christoph Fischer in Uncategorized

≈ 8 Comments

Today I’d like to share an absolute highlight of the forthcoming Llandeilo Lit Fest in April 2018. Not only did we find two authors fully engaged with the subject but we also have musicians specialising in the field of medieval music. I can’t wait for this event.

via Medieval Music

Medieval Music

POSTED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2018

Medieval Music – Saturday 28th of April – Horeb Chapel 14:00 

You are invited to step back in time to the court of Lord Rhys in 12th century Wales, with readings from authors Luke Waterson and Jean Gill, accompanied by medieval music from Elsa Davies, Ceri Owen Jones and Jason Lawday.

If you’ve ever wondered what the first Eisteddfod was like and how it came about, you can hear two different versions: 1153, in ‘Song Hereafter’, the last book of the award-winning “Troubadours Quartet” by Jean Gill and 1176, in ‘Song Castle’, by acclaimed novelist and travel writer Luke Waterson.  Both Luke and Jean have made some surprising links between the troubadour poetry of Occitan France and Lord Rhys’ tournament of song.

 

Cerddoriaeth Ganoloesol. Fe’ch gwahoddir i gamu nôl mewn amser i lys yr Arglwydd Rhys yng Nghymru’r 12fed ganrif gyda darlleniadau gan yr awduron Luke Waterson a Jean Gill gyda cherddoriaeth ganoloesol gan Elsa Davies, Ceri Owen Jones ac Jason Lawday.

Os ydych erioed wedi meddwl sut oedd yr Eisteddfod gyntaf a sut y daeth i fod, gallwch glywed dau fersiwn gwahanol: yn “Song Hereafter,” y llyfr diweddaraf  yn “Troubadours Quartet” gan Jean Gill mae’n dweud mai yn 1153 cafwyd yr ornest gyntaf oedd ond mae’r nofelydd Luke Waterson a dderbyniodd glod eang, yn “Song Castle” yn dweud mai yn 1176 daeth yr eisteddfod i fod. Mae Luke a Jean wedi gwneud cysylltiadau annisgwyl rhwng barddoniaeth trwbadŵr Occitan yn Ffrainc â chystadleuaeth canu’r Arglwydd Rhys.
