An evening with ... Kim Willis

About this event

No Fair Maidens is part memoir, part exploration of the powerful, often forgotten, ancient goddesses and matriarchs of Britain. In this beautifully written and lyrical work, Kim Willis uses ancient stories and mythologies to question what it means to be a woman today… About Kim Willis In her late thirties, Kim Willis was told by a doctor that she’d never be able to conceive children, a conversation that made her question the very course of her life. Living in a warehouse in East London, her life a whirlwind of BBQs and baby showers, Kim felt herself drifting from the traditional path of marriage and motherhood, and yearning for a new set of stories to light her way.Kim Willis is a narrative strategist and journalist based between London and South Wales. She has designed storytelling strategies for Number 10 and the UN, written about wild places for the Guardian and was the founder of ‘Heroine’s Journey’ speaker series. About No Fair Maidens Returning to her native Wales, Kim Willis immersed herself in stories of ancient goddesses and matriarchs: shape-shifting enchantresses, scaly nymphs and goddesses who once commanded our lands.
