Adele Patrick Glasgow Women's Library To quote bell hooks “ Come closer. See how feminism can touch and change your life and all our lives. Come closer and know first-hand what feminist movement is all about. Come closer and you will see: feminism is for everybody” #namaste 🙏🏽

I’ve not shared much about work recently because it all just seems bonkers and irrelevant with the atrocities around the world, and how it’s all happening and because it doesn’t seem to matter which way we say it and talk about the shift in gear we all need to take here in this

Was SO happy to hear this today - i will absolutely come and see you. My life was enhanced by the Bridgeton Library!!

Sylvia Pankhurst 1907: "I found a lodging in a two-bedroomed flat in a barrack-dwelling in Bridgton... I secured permission to paint in a near-by cotton mill..." Wonder if she used the new Bridgeton Library, now home to Glasgow Women's Library (she would approve!) sylviapankhurst.com/artist
