Back by popular demand, this walking tour within Garnethill’s confined boundaries will spotlight the women who pioneered European art movements, designed the banners for suffragette processions, created the first (and only) women’s library in Scotland and made Garnethill into the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspot in Glasgow.
Screening, for the first time in Glasgow, a sample of filmed testimonies by women involved in the birth of the feminist movement in Scotland. Followed by a screening of the F Word, a film that seeks to answer the questions… What impact has feminism had on young women’s lives? And, what relevance has it for them today?
A chance to pop in to the library, see artefacts from the archive, find out about ways to get involved and see some screenings of second wave feminist testimonies from the collection.

We’re holding a training session on Friday 21 May for anyone interested, please get in touch.
