Women Writers Unite to examine the physical, emotional and spiritual journey which forms a pivotal part of most women’s lives. Authors Louise Welsh, Leela Soma, Joyce Ito and Sarah Ward share their own work, as well as the experiences of others on themes of migration, asylum, and the struggle to live across two very different cultures.

Reading into the Future
Visions of new a home for women, art, feminism and reading in Glasgow. What will the new space look like? What facilities should it contain? And, what reading, making, performing, learning and researching could take place there? And…Swap a Book and Make a Kite!
Garnethill Women’s Heritage Walk
Back by popular demand, this walking tour within Garnethill’s confined boundaries will spotlight the women who pioneered European art movements, designed the banners for suffragette processions, created the first (and only) women’s library in Scotland and made Garnethill into the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspot in Glasgow.
Firebrand Women and the F Word
Screening, for the first time in Glasgow, a sample of filmed testimonies by women involved in the birth of the feminist movement in Scotland. Followed by a screening of the F Word, a film that seeks to answer the questions… What impact has feminism had on young women’s lives? And, what relevance has it for them today?
GWL Open Doors
A chance to pop in to the library, see artefacts from the archive, find out about ways to get involved and see some screenings of second wave feminist testimonies from the collection.
