Activist Legacies Roundtable
The Women’s Library (LSE), 22nd September 2023
Overview | Sessions | Our Review | Tweets | Photos | Magazine display
Our first ‘Activist Legacies’ roundtable discussed how feminist periodicals have shaped public sphere debate and how political ideas and feelings gain traction through the media. It provided a unique insight into feminist periodical culture from the early seventies right up to the present day.
We drew our inspiration from the archive of women’s movement magazines at the Women’s Library.
Our sessions included discussions with:
- Marsha Rowe (Spare Rib)
- Shaila Shah (Outwrite)
- Sally Orson-Jones (Shocking Pink)
- Kemi Alemoru (gal-dem)
