No Fair Maidens: The lost legends of Britain

Scarhach, Cerridwen, Gwendoline, Coventina…our islands’ folklore is full of powerful women who brought the world enchantment and inspiration, warriorship and healing. And yet, we don’t know them.

Kim Willis is a writer and storyteller out to changed that. Her talk took us through her research into the ancient warrior women of the British Isles, and how they can provide us with a powerful new story for womanhood.

We also had some poetry from performance artist, Victoria Melody. Inspired by ethnography, she immerses herself in different communities and ‘becomes an active participant in their rituals as research for her work.’
