Arnolfini - est 1961


Jack Monroe’s blog agirlcalledjack.com started out as local political commentary on her home town of Southend but soon became widely read as it offered relevant and practical advice: how as an unemployed, single mother she was able to feed herself and her young son on only £10 a week.

She talks about her recipes, poverty, food banks and why she won’t be bullied into keeping quiet. 

This event is part of Bristol Festival of Ideas.
