This exhibition celebrates women blowing their own trumpets in the fight for equality from 1980 to 1990. Glasgow Women’s Library came into being partly in response to the overarching masculine narratives in Glasgow’s approach to being a European City of Culture in 1990. The exhibition includes posters and photographs from GWL’s archive and features the book co-edited by Shirley Henderson and Alison Mackay, Grit and Diamonds: Women in Scotland Making History, 1980–1990.
