Writers talking about book-inspired films*.
*that pass the Bechdel-Wallace test
The Bluestocking Club merges book and film club, hosting evening screenings of literary adaptations introduced by writers, followed by cocktails and chat. Each film screened is a thought-through choice and we make the case for it in the introduction. You can tell us over a Martini whether you think we've succeeded or not.
The three of us—Rosie, Katy and Nuzha—decided to launch the Club back in 2016, to throw off the negative connotations traditionally reserved for 'bluestockings' and instead celebrate women, brilliant minds, and good company, just like the original Bluestockings.
We felt that on any given night, we three span the range from bookish introvert to outgoing film buff (and can switch depending on the book or film in question)—and what we wanted was a place to be ourselves: to geek out about the books we reread and the films we can quote , and find others who feel the same. To learn from each other and discover new literary and cinematic worlds. And to do all this while championing women as much as we can. So that's what we've tried to put together. We'd love it if you joined us.
