Extract

The Women’s Library, London Metropolitan University is home to the most extensive collection of women’s history in the UK. It houses a wide variety of material from badges to banners, which reveal the many ways in which the struggle to change womens’ lives has been expressed visually. A move to purpose-built premises has created opportunities to open up the collections to a widening new audience.
