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
At home with Brendan Courtney by the sea in Wicklow: ‘I wanted to simplify my life’
Wealth gap tensions: ‘My friends don’t have to budget like me. A round of cocktails scares the s**t out of me’
Alison Curtis: ‘On arriving in Ireland I was stumped at how men and women didn’t interact’
‘I’m deeply unhappy but I think leaving my husband will destroy him’
Bernice Harrison: Heartburn by Nora Ephron and Country Girls by Edna O’Brien
Róisín Ingle: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and Rachel’s Holiday by Marian Keyes
