Our Work with Writers

Glasgow Women’s Library has developed many projects over the span of its lifetime, working with creatives, volunteers and sister organisations on exhibitions, workshops, publications, podcasts and more. Our projects are grounded in our values and the experience we have in addressing the inequalities that women and marginalised communities face, and use our collections to research and illuminate women’s lives and experiences.

Our work is wide-ranging, but there are common strands across our projects, past and present, and each strand is a route into exploring our work and understanding GWL’s purpose. Click on one of the strands above to start exploring.
