WMH Workshop: Women and Munitions

Capturing daughters’ memories of their pioneering mothers.

Thursday 19th April 
6pm to 7.30pm
£3/free

The Library has evocative materials recording the history of women’s work in the First World War munitions factories. We are inviting anyone who has memories of their female relatives involvement in this vital work to share their memories and we will capture these for the GWL archive.

There will also be some fabulous footage of women working in munitions presented by Scottish Screen at this session.

If you are interested in women’s history then perhaps you know of a memorial to a woman in your area that hasn’t been marked on our Women of Scotland map? Or maybe you know the story behind a name?  We want women across Scotland to go out and find the monuments, landmarks, street names and buildings that mark the lives and achievements of women (whether famous, humble or notorious) who have helped to shape Scotland. We are launching Mapping Monuments to Women on Saturday 10th March to mark International Women’s Day. Click here for more information.
