Flashpoints, milestones and sexual revolutions in the collections of GWL: this is a capsule exhibition of objects and texts on sex that have made social, cultural and political waves.
This exhibition highlights the diaries, and journals of women of the past, published and unpublished. It includes original and digital versions of unique and fascinating items from GWL’s own archive and lending collection and some unique personal diaries and journals, including the 1936 Germany based travel diary of Motherwell woman Isobel Russell and some of the beautiful hand-written and illustrated log books of Girl Guide leader Miss Pirie of Torrance courtesy of East Dunbartonshire Archives.
Wendy Kirk, GWL librarian, invites you to read, relax and recharge! Bring along a bite of lunch and relax while you listen to a story being read out loud, then join in with some lively discussion. This informal and welcoming session suits women of all ages, from all walks of life.
Discover emerging voices, celebrate the Young Critics' work and find out more about the project which supports young women new to arts and culture to explore what’s on offer and respond to what they see.
This friendly and welcoming workshop from performance poet Anita Govan will give you the skills and confidence you need to perform your work live. Come along and then perhaps participate in the next week’s all woman poetry slam!
