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This exhibition highlights the diaries, and journals of women of the past, published and unpublished.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.
This beginner’s workshop with Glasgow Women’s Library is a chance to find out more about the art of blogging. What’s out there, who to read and how to get started yourself.
Join us for tea, coffee, biscuits and informal discussion on local women from Lennoxtown or Milton of Campsie and throughout East Dunbartonshire. Who are the women that you most remember and why? Where did they live and what did they do? How are they remembered? From the well-known to unsung heroines, this friendly, social and informal event will include short talks, a fun women’s quiz, discussion and hands on activities to give you an introduction to Glasgow Women’s Library and some of the women’s heritage projects that are happening across Scotland, including the new interactive Women of Scotland website that maps monuments to women across Scotland.
