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This exhibition highlights the diaries, and journals of women of the past, published and unpublished.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.
Celebrating worldwide women and their contributions to ensuring our rights, dignity and protection for Refugee Week.
