IWD - just a week away

Well I still have packing to do, and I am still finalising the syllabus for my workshop at the 9th March Feminist Gathering, ‘Women of the Book who go by the Name Feminists’. Still more IWD events are being announced every day. So here is a cheat sheet from Women in London (http://www.womeninlondon.org.uk/).
