A warm welcome to the latest issue of Cambridge Edition . Ahead of International Women’s Day on 8 March, these pages present a host of inspirational female figures. From the women’s crew ready to take on Oxford for the 78th edition of the iconic Boat Race with their powerful message of support and solidarity, to performance artist Katherina Radeva bringing her new show to the Junction and championing the permission to find joy. Ahead of her talk at the Cambridge Literary Festival next month, we also have the pleasure of speaking with author Lucy Jones, whose book Matrescence breaks new ground in exposing motherhood and the depths of its metamorphosis. As March quietly ushers in the tentative shoots of spring, so too do we embrace the desire for movement. Step outside and explore the bounty East Anglia has to offer with a select choice of staycations – from central Cambridge to the wilds of the North Norfolk coastline. Closer to home, a range of excursions await for some springtime family fun, including the return of the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend and Easter egg hunts galore. Elsewhere, discover a variety of mouth-watering offers for the upcoming Restaurant Week (page 39) and take your pick of new exhibitions, gigs and festivals to pop in the diary. As we move into March, I hope this magazine puts a spring in your step. Enjoy your read!
