@amygraywrites.bsky.socialReposted by @fotwl.bsky.socialThis is such a great book (and her biography of Eleanor Rathbone should be on every politician's shelf). Would definitely be joining if I could.
@gillianmurphy.bsky.socialReposted by @fotwl.bsky.socialToday 29 September 1967 was Vera Douie's last day in the Fawcett Library. Tomorrow is the last day of The Women's Library centenary exhibition.

@howl2025.bsky.socialReposted by @fotwl.bsky.social"Being told that I couldn't do things because I was a girl was like a red rag to a bull." Raised by a single mother, Gaby Weiner has always been a feminist: in the Hornsey Housebound Housewives, in a school where women teachers couldn't wear trousers, and in her MA on the Sex Discrimination Act.
