To celebrate the release of the much-anticipated Suffragette film, luxury hotel Conrad London St. James is offering a rare opportunity to meet with and listen to Lucinda Hawksley, author of the acclaimed ‘March, Women, March’, a book celebrating the voices of the women’s movement from the first feminist to the suffragettes.

From 6pm on Thursday 29th October Lucinda will be hosting a drinks reception in one of SW’s coolest cocktail bars, Emmeline’s Lounge. Dr. Helen Pankhurst, granddaughter of Sylvia Pankhurst and great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst will give an introduction before Lucinda reads some extracts from her book and discusses the feminist movement in more detail.

Tickets are £35 per person and include canapés and a glass of  G.H. Mumm champagne before the talk and a goodie-bag and a signed copy of the book to take away.

£2 from each ticket will go to humanitarian charity CARE International, to help women fulfil their potential worldwide.
