GWL’s precursor, ‘Women in Profile’ was established to counter a male-centric cultural narrative about Glasgow’s arts and cultural landscape in the year leading up to Glasgow’s European City of Culture status in 1990. Glasgow Women’s Library’s first archive and library space opened in Garnethill initially to preserve the work of ‘Women in Profile’ and a year of grassroots, women’s artistic contributions to the city. We look back on this time as a period of GWL’s history that has been previously undocumented.
