To celebrate International Women’s Day, The Irish Times Women’s Podcast book club and a handful of podcast listeners gathered for a live event at Kildare Village on Saturday morning.
Niamh Towey, Ann Ingle, Bernice Harrison, and Roisin Ingle, explored the books by women that have challenged and changed them and that they think every woman should read.
Book Club Choices:
Ann Ingle: The Women’s Room by Marilyn French and Anne Tyler novels
Sally Rooney: ‘I enjoy writing about men ... the dangerous charisma of the oppressor class’
Alzheimer’s: ‘I’ve lost my friend and my companion,’ says Úna Crawford O’Brien of fellow Fair City actor Bryan Murray
Ryan Adams at Vicar Street: A gig that nobody will forget anytime soon, but perhaps not for all the right reasons
Meghan Markle’s new podcast: An ego-fluffing conversation underlining the culture gap between Ireland and the US
Bernice Harrison: Heartburn by Nora Ephron and Country Girls by Edna O’Brien
