Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL) is the sole resource of its kind in Scotland. Launched in 1991, the library has amassed a remarkable collection that charts women’s and equalities campaigns, showcasing and conserving the diversity of women’s history and creativity.
To mark the library’s 21st birthday in 2012, GWL commissioned 21 female artists to create limited edition fine art prints inspired by items in its collections, from campaign badges and knitting patterns to Suffragette memorabilia, album covers and feminist newsletters.
The exhibition includes works by Claire Barclay, Sam Ainsley, Jacki Parry, Kate Davis, Ellie Harrison, Ciara Phillips and Corin Sworn, and will also include 21 new texts generated by a renowned group of women writers.
