The women of the East End have always had to be resourceful and industrious simply to survive.
This walking tour focuses on some of their achievements and struggles, and the radical nature of the area which gave birth to them. Learn about the women of the Templeton factory, the suffragettes, the brazen women of Glasgow Green, Battling Betty, the woman who set up the Barras and many, many more!
The tour will start at Glasgow Women’s Library, which we are also offering tours of during the festival and you can find out more here.
This walk is part of the Glasgow Doors Open Days festival and booking is not required. The walk is open to all. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis at the start of the walk so please arrive in good time.
We ask that you do not bring dogs other than guide dogs along on the walks. Contact us if you are unsure about anything, we are happy to answer any questions.
