Women of Easterhouse: A celebration of Struggle and Solidarity
A participatory event to celebrate the remarkable lives and achievements of women who have lived and lone-mothered in Easterhouse since the 1980s.
Dr Mhairi-Jean Ross will deliver a short presentation on her PhD research into lone motherhood in Easterhouse. The presentation will be followed by a celebratory workshop exploring how older women’s lives in Easterhouse have changed in the years following the Covid-19 lockdown. The event will culminate in the handing over of the thesis to the GWL archive as a record of Glasgow Women’s Hidden History.
This event is only open to people with experience of lone motherhood in Easterhouse, or people with a connection to that community.
