Paula Rego's anthology of traditional nursery rhymes, illustrated by her sometimes disturbing, but always arresting engravings.

A site-specific exhibition at The Edwardian Cloakroom, Bristol by artists Julie Hill & Catherine Anyango Grünewald. Together their works in materials such as ceramics, cosmetics, smoke and mirrors used the context of the Edwardian Cloakroom as a mise-en-scène setting, drawing attention to the feminine experience as independent, both spatially and intellectually, from the Gents.

Marina Warner has gathered together a magical collection of fairy tales by the great women storytellers of the 17th and 18th centuries. These are passionate, extraordinary, and occasionally proto-feminist retellings of classic fairy stories by women who ingeniously used the fairy tale genre to comment on their own times and experiences.

When a mummy in the Museum of Albion is unpacked it is found to contain a bundle of curious objects and documents which tell of the wanderings of an unknown woman, Leto.

It brings to new life the ancient disparaged south of the Italian peninsula, weakened by emigration, silenced by fascism. According to family legend, David Pittagora died as a result of a duel.

Since the early 1970s, Marina Warner has been one of the most challenging, subtle and profound commentators on the culture of past and present, unravelling our webs of images, ideas and beliefs, and making new and provocative connections.

A collection of weird and wonderful stories of beauty and horror from the writer of "The Mermaids in the Basement". Here are fabulous images of saints and sinners, bats and nightingales, pink flesh and putrefaction, treading a delicate line between the natural and the supernatural.

In early 1994 Marina Warner delivered the prestigious Reith Lectures for the BBC.

From 1861 to 1908 a woman, the Empress Dowager Tz'u-hsi, born the daughter of a minor mandarin, held the supreme power in China. THE DRAGON EMPRESS also portrays a China in rapid decline as poverty, civil war and foreign exploitation and invasion brought about the fall of the Ch'ing dynasty.
