We are now taking them to court in a landmark Equality Act test case. What happens here will decide whether councils across the UK can keep excluding women-only services, or whether they will finally be forced to obey the law.

A weekly in-person night for drinks and conversation. This is a relaxed evening for chatting, meeting new women, and building real connections. Women come from their 20s to their 60s – some brand new, some regulars. It is usually half new members and half returning, so you will never feel like the only newcomer. Most arrive solo, and we make sure you will not feel it. If you are nervous, the WhatsApp group is the best place to start. Many women join there first, so by the time they come along they already recognise a few names. It is also used for daily chat between events, which makes it easier to feel part of things straight away. Table booking is under the name Jenny. **Register for the Event** You must sign up to attend: [thelcommunity.com/events/lesbian-offline-nights](www.thelcommunity.com/events/lesbian-offline-nights) **Join the Network** Private WhatsApp group: for full members only.

**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman** **This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.** **An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.** Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia. Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.
