Happy International Women’s Day!
We have already had a whirl wind time, with a visit from Nicola Sturgeon MSP (Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Health & Wellbeing) to launch ‘A Way With Words’, the new publication of poems, stories and artworks from Glasgow Women’s Aid.
Nicola Sturgeon visiting GWL today
As I write, over 60 women are here at the launch, listening to these stories – all written by women who have lived with and left abusers, and being read in public today.
From here in the office I can hear much applause and collective laughter, and the Library is filled with support, empathy, pride and respect. I love days like this at GWL. A reminder of who we are and why our work is important.
The book is truly amazing and inspiring – congratulations to our sisters at Glasgow Women’s Aid, it’s a pleasure to be launching ‘A Way With Words’ here at GWL.
‘Women are strong, we have the strength to overcome’ says part of one art work.
Ain’t that the truth.

The Women’s Aid book launch was inspiring and emotive. The Women’s library was the perfect venue and is a great resource for the women of Glasgow!
