International Women's Day: Talk on Beguines

Join us for an enlightening discussion led by voluntary lecturer Esther Casajuana on the fascinating history of the Beguines. These women, who lived independently and chose to embrace a celibate lifestyle, played a significant role in society while existing outside the control of male authorities and the church. Casajuana will explore their lives, contributions, and the societal implications of their choices, offering insights into how these women carved out their own paths in a predominantly patriarchal world. This event promises to be both informative and inspiring, celebrating women's independence and historical agency.
