SPARKLING MEMORIES OF VICTORIA WOOD AND 'LET'S DO IT'

Victoria, Sylvia and Colin Smith 

I am currently listening to Woman's Hour which is celebrating the life of Victoria Wood CBE who was our President of the  Society of Women Writers and Journalists until she died in 2016.  Jasper Rees has written a new book about Victoria entitled Let's Do It, which is sure to be a bestseller this Christmas.

Victoria was a special guest, among other well known luminaries who came to our 120th anniversary held at London's Stationers' Hall in October 2014 and gave a sparkling talk, meeting many of our members who had made the journey from around the world.
