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.
