THE UNKNOWN CÓRDOBA

Saturday, March 22nd, guided tour of the city of Córdoba
José Galisteo Martínez, BA in Art History
A new workshop and a new city to discover: Córdoba, the enigmatic, the unknown, the seductive. A gift that will lead us to follow step by step, layer by layer, both its immense artistic legacy and the path taken by Muslims, Jews and Christians to shape an urban center always alive and ever-changing, where the Mudejar, Renaissance or Baroque can be found. Three classes in which José Galisteo will unveil the soul of Cordoba.

MARCH THE 8TH
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY
On March 8th, International Women’s Day is celebrated, a date that commemorates the struggle of women for equality and their rights. This day has its roots in the demonstrations of working women in the early 20th century, who demanded better working conditions and the right to vote.
Today, March 8th covers topics such as gender violence, the wage gap, and access to education. It is a day to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that still persist, as well as to highlight the contributions of women in various fields, from science and technology to the arts and politics.

LITERARY GATHERING
VEGETARIAB
by Han Kang
Monday 17 March at 18:30 at Marbella Club
We will discuss The Vegetarian (Random House, 2924, 168 pages), by the 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang. In this intense novel, narrated in three parts with very different voices, the Korean author tells us the story of Yeong-hye, ‘a normal woman’ who one day, in a subversive and disturbing act, decides to stop eating meat. The reason? In Han Kang’s own words: The question I wanted to ask is not about the story of a deranged woman who doesn’t eat meat, the fundamental question is what is a human being and why does violence nestle in him or her’. A lot to reflect on and discuss.
We look forward to seeing you!

CINE FORUM
IN THE NAME OF THE ITALIAN PEOPLE
27 March at 18:15
At Eloísa Sánchez-Amillategui’s place
Why have we chosen In the Name of the Italian People as the end of the cycle? Why? Because we like good cinema; we like Dino Risi’s way of capturing reality; we like the photographer’s art of portraying the environment; we like the antagonistic representation of its protagonists: Ugo Tognazzi in his role as a tenacious, restrained, methodical, solitary judge… and Vittorio Gassman as a verbose, histrionic, vivid, corrupting businessman… And because we liked it as much as we were impressed by its surprise ending. We’re waiting for you!

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
RACHEL LLOYD, THE CHEMIST
Shortly after her graduation from Zurich, Lloyd received a letter from Henry Hudson Nicholson (1850–1940), chair of the Chemistry Department at the University of Nebraska, asking her to join the faculty there. Lloyd and Nicholson had met during their Harvard summers, both having studied under Mabery. Nicholson presented Lloyd with a rare opportunity to teach and conduct research at a co-educational university at a time when most of her female peers were relegated to teaching at secondary schools or women’s colleges.
Lloyd left London, where she briefly had worked as an assistant at the Normal School of Science and Royal School of Mines (now the Imperial College of London). She arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska,

ANNIVERSARY
THE SPANISH FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN CELEBRATES ITS 105 ANNIVERSARY
The Spanish Federation of University Women, FEMU, celebrates its 105th anniversary on 7 March, as it was created in Madrid on 7 March 1920. At that time, it had the name Juventud Universitaria Femenina (JUF), which included names such as Clara Campoamor and María de Maeztu (president in the early years). Thanks to the impetus of these visionary women, the JUF was immediately integrated into the recently created International Federation of University Women (FIMU). Its president already attended the I International Conference, which took place that year in London, where she presented a report entitled ‘Higher Education for Women’.
We are very proud to celebrate this important date with 148 members in Spain.
