Women Making History in London

Women Making History was a collaboration between the Golden Oldies, Shravika Satsang Mundal women's groups, Year 12 and 13 students from Haberdashers Aske's Hatcham College, The Museum in Docklands, the Women's Library, Rachel Warrington and Ceri Buckmaster.

The project has involved several different groups of Londoners in exploring women's representation in history, and the experiences of London women past and present.

We asked the elders what they were doing around the time of the photos they saw in the galleries at the Museum in London and the Museum in Docklands.

Most women at the time were living in the Caribbean or in East Africa. The East African women recollected having to black out windows because of German plan expeditions, and all women talk of food shortages because of the war.

Together we made a zine. In it you will find representations of our lives through objects that we have chosen because they are special to us.  You will find our evaluation of whose experience isn't represented in the museums. You will find our discussions about what it means to be a woman in our society in terms of:
  • having a baby
  • seeing images of women used to sell, advertise, glamorise
  • being mis or under represented as women
  • doing housework
  • getting older
  • sisterhood.
The Zine can be found in the Women's Library zine collection or contact me for a copy.
