Join Morag Rose for a conversation about her book on Saturday 13 December, from 2-3pm for a free, drop-in event.
The allure of the city is powerful but not universally accessible.
For many women, it can be exclusionary, exploitative and dangerous. In The Feminist Art of Walking (Pluto Press, October 2025), Morag Rose shows how women can and do claim their place in the public space.
Setting off to explore cities and towns across Britain, she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to the wider resonances of women's rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes.
Craving connection and comradeship, she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking, celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance.
By experiencing the pleasures and pains of pedestrian exploration, she shows us how to reconnect with and become enchanted by our streets.
