Media - The Illustrated Woman Symposium

Register here for The Illustrated Woman Symposium on the 19th May 2025.
This one-day symposium brings together academics and practitioners to discuss the phenomenon of the illustrated woman – a constructed or drawn image of a woman with a defined purpose to promote, illuminate, educate or entertain. Though designed for dissemination to large audiences, illustration remains an often academically overlooked site of potential power, particularly in the ways in which it covertly or explicitly reflects or challenges ideological positions of womanhood. This symposium will discuss a range of illustrated women from a global perspective, drawing on both historical and contemporary material.

Please note, if you are an academic or student within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures, University of Leeds please email c.m.stones@leeds.ac.uk prior to registering below for further details re. costing.
