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
