“The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity.”
– Amelia Earhart

 

Congratulations to
Marilyn Ehrman - Train Driver

Maz is a train driver for GWR, defying conventional gender roles. Read her story, and our interview, over on our website.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

“Finally passing out as a qualified train driver. I first applied for the job back in 2010. It’s not an easy process and I’ve encountered many obstacles along the way but I wouldn’t give up and if I could battle breast cancer twice and survive there was a good chance I’d be able to achieve my dream.”

Women in Sound podcast

We are delighted to have had Astra and Amy from Falmouth University working with us on a new podcast series 'Women in Sound'.

Each episode focuses on a different discipline through the lens of women working in that field. Over the summer they have produced two episodes and we will shortly be launching the first episode: Women in Dance.

We spoke to them about their experience of working at The Hypatia Trust and making the podcasts….

Last month, the title “Out of the Window” by Madeline Linford was published by Persephone Books as number 148 in their collection.

Persephone Books reprints neglected fiction and non-fiction, mostly by mid-twentieth century women writers. Intelligent, thought-provoking and beautifully written, they are selected to appeal to those seeking titles neither too literary nor too commercial.

Thank you to Julia Spry-Leverton, Penzance author and poet, who has kindly shared her review of the book with us.

What’s on @ Hypatia

JUST 5: The Lock Down Project

Thursday 7th December | 6.30-7.30pm | Hypatia HQ | £5

In December 2019 five artists planned to embark on a year-long shared Artists Book project to start in February of the following year. Little did they realise they were running headlong into a pandemic that would change lives.

For a year this team of artists each created a book or books and chose a different and personal theme for the content. Every 6 to 8 weeks each artist would complete a contribution whilst keeping to the originator’s choice of subject and pass the book on to the next artist in sequence.

Hear the artists talk about the process, devising strategies to exchange in a time of separation, and the overwhelming response to their work.

Read more about the talk, and buy tickets, at our Events page.

Join the team ❤️

The Hypatia Trust is run by an exceptionally small team and we rely on our fabulous volunteers to keep our events and the bookshop running.

If you’re based in Penzance/surrounding areas, are time-flexible and like the idea of being part of the warm ambience of Hypatia, pop by for a friendly chat.

You won't need to commit specific hours, a few hours of support as needed is appreciated. In return there are wonderful connections to be made and inspiring 'herstories' to hear.
