Imperial College Women's Club

Book discussion group

The Objective of the Women's Club is to "...provide activities that promote friendship and give opportunities for contact between all women connected with Imperial College..."

The Book Discussion Group is an informal group of Women's Club members who meet approximately every 6 weeks to read and discuss a particular book, chosen in rotation by regular attendees. Occasionally, authors and other speakers from the publishing world join the group for informal talks about their work.

In the spirit of the Club, the Group welcomes comments and contributions from all attendees. All points of view are respected and encouraged, to facilitate a constructive and enjoyable occasion for all those attending.

Notices regarding the next book for discussion, with the date and time of the meeting, are circulated in advance to all Women's Club members by the Book Discussion Group convener, Gay Carr

Please bring a packed lunch.
