Feminist Archive East Midlands
& Liberating Histories
FLA Network spring meeting, 18th April 2024
The Feminist Libraries and Archives Network invited Liberating Histories to talk about working with their project partners, the Women’s Library, LSE as well as a range of other feminist archives including the Feminist Library, the Glasgow Women’s Library, Feminist Archive South and Feminist Archive North. These archives have been central to the research for this project, providing access to a wide variety of feminist periodicals from across the UK such as Spare Rib, Red Rag, Mukti, Sappho, Harpies & Quines, Scarlet Women, Shocking Pink, FOWAAD and Women’s Report. The Liberating Histories team also drew attention to the archive of ‘Reader Testimonies’ on its own website as well as the Feminist Periodicals Guide which includes a ‘where to find’ section identifying the libraries and archives which have print copies of feminist magazines.
