We might be thinking that women being schooled on and obsessing over fitness, body image, and spiritual wellness are modern phenomena, yet they're as old as (at least) the Middle Ages.
In the first meetup of the History of English Langauge Lovers this year we'll be peeking into anchorite cells, to nunneries and medical textbooks to see how much (if anything) has changed in the history of women being told how to be the best versions of themselves.
We're meeting on Wednesday, November 26th at 11:30 (room 154). Grab a friend and come along!
