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This exhibition highlights the diaries, and journals of women of the past, published and unpublished.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.
We’re delighted to welcome Jennifer Klinec, author of The Temporary Bride, to a very special Story Café.
With Glasgow Women’s Library and the Edinburgh University Gender Reading Group. Readings from and chat about iconic feminist texts, fiction and non-fiction, that have influenced women of all ages. This is a very friendly and informal event - bring a text to read yourself or just come along to listen. There will also be a small exhibition of relevant books from GWL’s collection.
