It has been 35 years since the Feminist Library was founded as a humble 
shelf of books seeking to preserve the (often ephemeral) literature of the 
Women’s Liberation Movement, and we’re going to celebrate this landmark 
anniversary by having a massive party on 19th February. Look at our line-up!

Viv Albertine http://www.vivalbertine.com/

The former Slits guitarist returns with new material. “The post-Slits-y 
lo-fi and lyrical honesty of Flesh should win her more than a few 
 followers.” The Quietus

Trash Kit http://www.upsettherhythm.co.uk/trashkit.shtml

“The sound of three women battle-crying in harmony and sketching out urgent, 
concentrated scuttle-funk miniatures is a sound that needs to be heard, 
periodically and necessarily.” The Quietus

An excerpt from A Fine Undertaking: A Lesbian Relationship Farce by Berta 
Freistadt. A dramatised reading by some friends of Berta.

 “A Fine Undertaking (1984), ironically set in a funeral parlour, caused her 
lesbian audience to weep with laughter as she slyly parodied our  political
meetings.” The Guardian

 Julie McNamara http://www.juliemc.com/index.html

 "Julie McNamara has been hailed as a punk folk singer, a wicked wit and a 
serious comic. Whatever she pulls out of the bag she never fails to 
entertain." Metro

 Women Sing East http://spitalfieldsmusic.org.uk/index.php?pid=219

 The legendary east-London singing group for women, led by inspirational 
jazz singer and workshop leader Laka D.

 Lorraine Jordan www.lorrainejordan.net

 “Her song Dreamers could have been penned by Sandy Denny, Sweet Mystery by 
Nick Drake and Your Love by Joan Armatrading – but they’re all her own.  Her 
songs rank among the finest of their genre, and deserve recognition.” 
Living Tradition

 Martha & Eve www.marthaandeve.co.uk

 Formerly known as Donna & Kebab, the music/comedy duo are ready to delight. 
“Exhilarating rhythms, stunning songs.” The Guardian

 Girl Germs DJs

The venue is fully accessible.
 We will be running a licensed bar, with cakes too.
 Friendly feminist people of all ages and genders are welcome.
