Speaking Out

The Speaking Out project has wrapped up after two wonderful years. Thank you so much to everyone who made this project possible - it has truly been a privilege to discover, record, and celebrate the history of Women's Aid in Scotland. Our last blog: womenslibrary.org.uk/2017/12/15/spe…

📸We're marking 25 years of Engender by charting the history of the organisation & the wider women's movement in Scotland with a documentary podcast & a series of photographs of women we should celebrate, & we need your help to tell us who should feature! engender.org.uk/content/engend…

.@SpeakingOut_SWA talking about the importance of a resource of women's history, created and collated by women. 'As many of us as possible need to tell our part of the story in all our different ways.' #engender25

How has feminism in Scotland changed over the past 25 years? How far do we still have to go for women's equality? Come along this Fri to hear from @lesleyorr14 @SpeakingOut_SWA & share your views. The venue is accessible - sign up for a free place here: engender.org.uk/content/events…

Need more feminist heritage in your life? Join Engender on Friday in creating a timeline of feminist activity in Scotland. We’ll be speaking about the project and hearing more about the women’s movement in Scotland from Dr Lesley Orr 🙌 engender.org.uk/content/events…
