Queenette’s Dining Club

Commentary

Queenette’s Dining Club

In 1980 Cath Rees had the idea of establishing a women’s only dining society. It was to be very egalitarian and all women graduates and undergraduates were to be members, if they so wished. I supported Cath in the establishment and organisation of the Society. Lady Blake, the Provost’s wife, agreed to be the head of the Queenette’s Society and came along to every dinner.

Alison Sanders, 1979
