Preserving women's publishing histories: editing women in the archives
Discussants
Chair
Editing Women in the Archives preserves and invites readers to interact with five decades of literary, art and lifestyle magazines pioneered, edited and sustained by Pakistani women. These act as a fantastic chronicle of women’s social and cultural history.
This panel discussion will include stories about the project and the personal connections the guest speakers have to the production of these publications to celebrate the launch of the web resource.
Join us as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Women's Library. The panel discussion will be followed by a reception.
Speakers
Dr Madeline Clements, Teesside University, Project co-lead.
Ayesha Kurim, daughter of Zuhra, founder of ‘SHE’ magazine.
Sulema Jahangir, partner of family law firm, Dawson Cornwall.
Chair
Dr Nilanjan Sarkar, Deputy Director of LSE South Asia Centre.
