Why not put a Woman on the Shelf this Christmas?
Sponsor a shelf at Glasgow Women’s Library and dedicate it to a woman who’s important to you, creating a unique and lasting gift for someone you love.
As well as building a living tribute to remarkable women, all the money raised through ‘Women on the Shelf’ goes directly towards the refurbishment costs still needed to complete the transformation of GWL’s permanent new home in Bridgeton.
For £10 you can sponsor an individual book and we will record your donation with a dedicated bookplate; For £100 sponsor a shelf and dedicate it to a woman of your choice. Her name and the words you choose to honour her with will be recorded forever on a shelf. For £1,000 you can dedicate an entire Library section, with your heroine’s name and tribute engraved onto a beautiful plaque. Bookplates, shelf and section markers have been specially designed and individually crafted.
We’ll also send you a special gift certificate to record your dedication – please make sure to sponsor the shelf, section or book before Thursday 17th December to receive the certificate in time for Christmas!

Gifts for art lovers and avid readers
All of the gorgeous artworks created for our 21 Revolutions project are available to buy as limited editions in our shop. Inspired by the collections at Glasgow Women’s Library, and celebrating women’s history, strength and creativity, there are prints to suit all tastes.
Instead of the same old Christmas cards, why not send a striking, unique work of art by Turner Prize nominee Karla Black?*
All these beautiful artworks are brought together with remarkable short stories, poems and essays written for 21 Revolutions in a wonderful, full-colour coffee table book, available for just £25. With works by Sam Ainsley, Janice Galloway, Kate Davis, Jackie Kay, Denise Mina, Corin Sworn and many more fantastic creative women, this book is an absolute treasure trove, and the perfect gift for any avid reader.
Saucy Stocking Fillers
Just looking for a stocking filler or a Secret Santa gift? Why not order a copy of our ‘Sex between the covers’ publication? Available in a gift set with postcards and a button badge for £5, it’s an enlightening look at sex, sexual identity, feminism and power, illuminated by the GWL collection and the discussions that took place in spring/summer 2015 as part of our Sex in the Women’s Library season.
Or if you’re looking for something equally striking, but perhaps a little less scandalous, why not but one of our fab GWL Makes You Think tote bags, available in blue & yellow or red & yellow for just £5.
Please make sure to get orders for prints in before Thursday 10th December, and all other orders by Thursday 17th December to ensure delivery before Christmas. (If you’re ordering from outside the UK, please contact us about delivery times)
