Joanna Biggs & Sophie Haydock: How Should a Woman Live?
Sorry, this event has sold out
In the years following her divorce, Joanna Biggs found solace in reading nine female writers. Debut novelist Sophie Haydock became fascinated by the muses who posed for artist Egon Schiele.
In what ways can the lives and work of our favourite female artists and muses offer solace and inspiration for how women should live today? Joanna Biggs is senior editor at Harper’s magazine in New York and author of A Life of One’s Own. Sophie Haydock is the author of The Flames and lives in Folkestone.

Curating the festival for the first time, Jen and James have been inspired by Folkestone and how we can all come together through inspired discussion about global ideas, global thinking and possible futures.
