The festival will kick off on Saturday with an event bringing together activists from the inaugural Women’s Liberation Conference, which was held at Ruskin College's old Walton Street home in Oxford in February 1970.
This is fully booked but there is also a talk today on female asylum seekers detained in the UK and an exhibition called 'Phenomenal women: Afrikan Amazon Women'.
See oiwf.org for the full programme.
