Samantha Ellis: How to be a Heroine

This is a past event.

West Lane Baptist Centre, Haworth

Saturday 31 May, 2pm

West Lane Baptist Centre, Haworth


On a pilgrimage to Top Withens, Samantha Ellis found herself arguing with her best friend about which heroine was best: Jane Eyre or Cathy Earnshaw. She was all for wild, passionate Cathy; but her friend found Cathy silly, a snob, while courageous Jane makes her own way. And that's when Samantha realised that all her life she'd been trying to be Cathy when she should have been trying to be Jane. So she decided to look again at her heroines - the girls, women, books that had shaped her ideas of the world and how to live. Join Samantha as she discusses her new book which explores the role of heroines, and our favourite books, in all our lives - and how they change over time, for better or worse, just as we do.

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS REARRANGED FROM SATURDAY 24 MAY.
