One thing you learn from a career in heritage: sometimes you have to make your own memorials. Today I went with my sister to the site that was HMP Holloway. Where a thousand suffragettes were imprisoned & some tortured. You’d never know from the hoardings #InternationalWomensDay

Here's an image of the 'Trust the Women' banner when it lived in the Fawcett Library (now the Women's Library) until the late 1980s. And one with Dale Spender in 1991 after the banner had moved to Canberra.

Wangari Maathai was brave. As a member of the National Council of Women in Kenya, and as prep for the UN International Conference on Women in 1975, she came up with the idea of planting trees which became the Green Belt Movement in 1977. She features in this exhibition: www.lse.ac.uk/library/what...

It's been such a pleasure to work with @rosavcampbell.bsky.social on this journal article in which we find in the International Feminist Network Against Female Sexual Slavery a crucial 1980s link between the 19C "white slavery" campaigns and 21C anti-trafficking legislation. doi.org/10.1080/0143...

I’m very surprised to read this because the reason you gave for rejecting the panel I proposed on medieval and early modern Ireland in a British history context was that there was not enough space. I am sad that this apparently means that premodern is not included in the conversation.

🧐One of the earliest known examples of a woman's donation bookplate (in our Special Collections), found in a copy of Salvian's works, printed in 1611. The bookplate dates from 1616 when Lady Anne Harington established a library at Oakham Parish Church. #HerBook
