My Talks Eggs, Effigies and Education: The Sometimes Scandalous History of Women at Cambridge We begin with a tale of murder in 1208 and romp through 800 years of history covering riots, dramatic votes and the power of the Queen Mother along the way. For Women's Institute talks this journey ends with a W.I. 'twist'! The Women of Alcatraz Alcatraz: famous as the home of some of America's most vicious gangsters, the Birdman and Al Capone amongst them, but also home sweet home to women for over a century. This talk explores some of their tales, from army families to prison visitors, mermaids to guards - explore what it was like to live on Pelican Island, aka 'The Rock'. Inside Cambridge and Oxford Gain an insight into how the UK's ancient universities operate in the 21st Century. We'll touch on the history, the traditions and the modern procedures of these famous institutions. Hear about one of the strangest graduation ceremonies around, discover what pennying is and meet the newest inhabitants, such as the Chronophage. |
