ARTSCAPE CONVERSATIONS: #7 Louisa Treger

<p>London based writer Louisa Treger was in South Africa recently to launch her latest book, <em>Madwoman (</em>Bloomsbury<em>). </em>It<em> </em>tells the extraordinary, and shocking, story of American journalist, Nelly Bly who back in the late 1880's had herself admitted to a New York asylum for 'mad women' - so she could both write about it and expose the appalling conditions. At our Women's Library, Louisa was in conversation with writer- publisher Karina Szczurek.</p>
