This event was great!! So many threads and lots of fascinating conversations. Also great to present at People's History Museum. Look forward to seeing what comes next. Big thanks to Rachel Collett and Alfie Steer - fantastic job organising everything!

No rest for the wicked! I’ll be at the SHS conference in Durham next week with the Women's Grassroots Activism Research Network team, talking all about local feminism, urban space + the first Merseyside Women’s Centre on Seel Street. But first need to shake off the post-conference cold after Beyond the Fragments: 45 Years On😩🤧

Members of our research team have just given papers at the SocialHistorySociety conference! @annamuggeridge on women in local gov, Dr Ruth Davidson on activists around poverty, Anne Hogan on Manchester Soroptimists housing activism, and Rachel Collett on Merseyside women’s centre







Now at Arts and Humanities Research Council Women's Grassroots Activism Research Network School of LSS Workshop 4 we have three fab ECRs Maisie Jepson (she/her) Grace Heaton & Rachel Collett sharing their experiences of ‘doing’ oral history & how making stories of female activism more audible also makes this activism more visible.



Would any historians be able to help - does anyone know if this banner was (likely) made by Thalia Campbell? It looks like her style but can't find any info. Maisie Jepson (she/her) what do you think?





Earlier this year, we organised a conference to celebrate 45 years since the publication of Beyond the Fragments by Sheila Rowbotham, Lynne Segal and hilary wainwright. Read our conference report for the Society for the Study of Labour History blog! sslh.org.uk/2024/12/28/bey…

When National Museums Liverpool hired the historian Laurence Westgaph, it knew he had a conviction for statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl and it received new warnings that he had abused other women. Today, The Post reveals the true extent of Westgaph's abuse - and how NML looked the other way.
