Women making it with Glasgow Women’s Library
To continue the celebration of The Women’s Library's 100th anniversary, Glasgow Women’s Library will be taking up residence at LSE Library for one evening to create your own 2027 Feminist Diary, inspired by the rich history of feminist magazines, posters, postcards, and activist print culture.
In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you'll use scrapbooking and collage techniques to transform a plain diary into a beautiful and personal keepsake. Using a variety of papers, images, quotes, decorative materials, and mixed-media craft supplies, you'll layer, cut, arrange, and decorate pages that reflect your creativity, interests, and values.
Throughout the workshop, you'll explore inspiring feminist messages and imagery, weaving them throughout your diary so they can be discovered as you use it during the year - offering moments of motivation, reflection, and encouragement.
No previous craft experience is needed. Whether you use your diary to capture ideas, dreams, plans, or everyday notes, you'll leave with a unique and practical journal that celebrates feminist history while inspiring your own journey through 2027
Women’s journals, magazines and newsletters document women’s lives through the ages. The LSE Library collection includes our earliest titles from the 18th century. Many titles disseminated women’s political ideas and illustrated the development of the publishing industry for women’s popular magazines from the 19th century onwards. LSE Library also holds journals relating to campaigning and feminist groups in addition to those of professional and voluntary organisations. We will use this material to inspire and make our own creations!
