Join us for a Library Late, a free and public celebration of the 10-year anniversary of The Women’s Library Reading Room!

The Women’s Library is the oldest and largest library in Britain devoted to the history of women’s campaigning and activism.

It has had many homes and many names. It was renamed the Fawcett Library in Protected content memory of Millicent Garrett Fawcett and then The Women’s Library in Protected content .

In Protected content , The Women’s Library moved to LSE and with the opening of The Women's Library Reading Room in the following year, they have welcomed many researchers, artists, academics, activists and more over the last 10 years!

Come and find out about how they collect, digitise, catalogue and how you can use the collection to inspire your own research, art and other activities.

During this free evening open to the public, we will be celebrating with...
