Vanessa Holburn's Book Launch Party - Sunday 14th December 2025
"Secret Women: What We Hide and Why"
6:30pm - 8:30pm

Celebrate the release of Vanessa's sixth book 'Secret Women' with a few drinks and lots of mingling. The author will be on hand to sign copies, sold on the night by Fourbears Books, Caversham.

Why do some women either have to, or choose to, live secret lives? We all have secrets, but what drives these women to hide part of themselves from others?

This book explores the hidden lives of a diverse group of women who operate with a degree of subterfuge, mystery or deliberate deception. From Freemasonry to fetishism, from witches to activists and survivors, the reasons for secrecy are as different as the women themselves. Together, they represent a rich tapestry of female experience, sensitively recounted by the author.
