Women's Rights In Norwich: 1970s - 1990s

The Norfolk Heritage Centre Podcast

In this talk, Community Librarian Rachel Ridealgh explores what material from Norfolk Heritage Centre’s ephemera collection can tell us about the movement for women’s liberation in Norwich during the 1970s – 1990s. Learn more about how local women became involved in campaigns for equality, peace, and human rights during this time, both locally and nationally. This recording is inspired by the British Library’s "Unfinished Business: The Fight for Women’s Rights" exhibition, which explores how feminist activism in the UK today has its roots in the complex history of women’s rights. Visit norfolkheritagecentre.wordpress.com for a video version of the recording, and to see the images referred to throughout the talk. We hope you enjoyed listening!
