The capital’s best free events from Mar 3rd-9th
Dear Cheapskater,
It’s a big old week. We’ve got Pancake Day this Tuesday, International Women’s Day on Saturday, plus Repair Week and Pie week. So something for everyone!
International Women’s Day has been celebrated for over a century, striving to accelerate equal opportunities and establish gender parity. We're excited to share a selection of free events below that honour women's achievements.
Recently you’ve been telling us about the women who have inspired you at events you’ve been to, and wow did you deliver. From pioneers in science and politics to artists and activists, we loved reading your responses and wanted to share a snapshot with you:
💛 Marie Curie—A true trailblazer in science, she was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize (twice!) & changed the world with her research on radioactivity. Thank you for this one, Chasidah!
💛 Tirzah Garwood—An unsung talent of British art, now finally getting her flowers at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Love this shoutout from Rachel E!
💛 Moira Stuart—The first black female newsreader on British television & an icon in broadcasting. A brilliant pick from Kiptiatu N!
💛 Rosalind Franklin—A scientist whose vital work on DNA went uncredited for years—finally getting the recognition she deserves. A brilliant pick from Zoe D!
💛 Annie Lennox—A voice like no other, a fierce advocate for women’s rights & founder of The Circle - an organisation supporting women facing gender-based violence & economic inequality. Big love to Nancy S!
Have a brilliant week!
Sophia & Georgia
