Untold Stories of East Dunbartonshire Women, Kirkintilloch

16th June, 2016, 6:30pm to 8:00pm

DSCN1763Join us for tea, coffee, biscuits and informal discussion on local women from Hillhead, Kirkintilloch and throughout East Dunbartonshire. Who are the women that you most remember and why? Where did they live and what did they do? How are they remembered? From the well-known to unsung heroines, this friendly, social and informal event will include short talks, a fun women’s quiz, discussion and hands on activities to give you an introduction to Glasgow Women’s Library and some of the women’s heritage projects that are happening across Scotland, including the new interactive Women of Scotland website that maps monuments to women across Scotland.

Come along, try our women’s history quiz and create your own local map of women whose stories deserve to be remembered.
