Discover the hidden heroines of Glasgow’s East End by joining our tour guides on Glasgow Women’s Library’s newest heritage walk.
The women of the East End have always had to be industrious and resourceful 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. Find out about the women of the Templeton factory, the Suffragettes held in Duke Street Prison, the woman who set up the Barras and much, much more!
