Public meeting: Leslie Cannold talks feminism, religion and The Book of Rachael.

Wednesday, June 1, 2011 - 18:30

Two thousand years ago, while a young Jewish preacher from Nazareth was gathering followers among the people of Galilee, his sister swept floors and dreamed of learning to read. In Leslie Cannold's story, it is the women of Nazareth who take centre stage. Join Leslie and Chalk editor Sharne Vate as they discuss The Book of Rachael. 'The church has spent millennia writing women out of history . . . Cannold returns them to their rightful place at the centre of one of our most powerful stories.' (Sophie Cunningham).
