Women in SFF 2022 Week 3 WRAP UP
Welcome to our third Women in SFF wrap up post!

Each week, we’ll try and round up all this wonderful content into one summary-wrap-up post – if we’ve missed you, please comment and link below! We’d love to see the ways you’re taking part.
So, what have you all been up to…?
