In our final lecture of 2018-19 Professor Kate Dossett of Leeds University presented a fascinating insight into the way archivists are preserving the materials of the Feminist past.  Drawing on her research with FAFF (Feminist Archives Feminist Futures) Kate Dossett challenged the image of Feminist History as a series of waves pushed back over the last century and a half.  This metaphor of waves tended to put each generation of Feminists at with odds with the earlier generations. She showed how archives as diverse as the Fawcett Society (now the Women’s Library) and the Glasgow Women’s Library were preserving through books, news clippings, artefacts, pamphlets, posters, film and oral history the history of the Feminist Movement.  This included ant-Feminist materials to give the topic context.  This lecture not only enlightened us about Feminism’s History and also examined the wider issue of how historians and generations revisit and take ownership of the past.  It was lively and inspirational end to our second successful year.
