A Club for Sociable, Inquisitive Ladies
Our goal is to unite sassy, fabulous women in a casual, social environment.
Summer 2009.
The Ladies Who… are a group of sociable, inquisitive ladies who bring the common book club to a new level. We take back the idea of “the ladies who lunch” from the housewives of yesteryear and bring our own sassy modern twist to it. We unite monthly to discuss the fabulous books we have read, and to engage in social activities relating to the book.
At each gathering, a theme is chosen ranging from Ladies Who…Volunteer to Ladies Who…Roll Sushi to Ladies Who…Luxuriate, and everything in between. We dare to embark on activities we have never done before, have always wanted to do or, simply, that is fun and mixes well with discussions of our books.
Our group consists of professional women in their twenties and thirties from a variety of backgrounds (PR, TV/Film Casting, NHS Research Administration, Nursing) and countries – England, Wales and the USA. We were initially united in Bristol for one reason – our boyfriends. In lieu of the fact that all of our boyfriends were friends, we found we actually enjoyed each other’s company as well! One evening’s discussion sipping wine and realising we needed an outlet that was completely rid of testosterone, led to the idea for our book club.
The first get-together was aptly named The Ladies Who…Read. Every month new women are joining and our circle of female friends is growing (as well as our list of books).
See below for our invitations from most recent starting first.

This one we’re making an exception, and inviting…GASP…men! In the name of Thanksgiving, we must!
