Vote 100 is an exciting new programme at GWL launching in Spring 2018 and lasting until International Women’s Day, March 2019. It will involve an array of events, web resources and open workshops marking 100 years since some of the first women in Britain were granted the right to vote. We want to make sure the names of Scottish heroines of the movement roll off the tongue and that their critical role in changing history forever is put centre stage.
We need women to work together to create a trail that will put Scottish Suffragette heroines firmly on the map. Have you heard about suffragette heroines at other GWL events or do you feel inspired to learn about the women who gained us the vote? Become a GWL Women’s History Detective by researching with us in the inspiring, friendly environment of the Library to help create a lasting legacy celebrating women who changed our world.
These workshops will take place on Thursday 19th July, Thursday 2nd August, 9th August, 16th August, and 23rd August. Come to as many workshops as you can and find all our Vote 100 events here.
