Wonderful end to a great day celebrating 💯 #WomensLibrary at @lselibrary.bsky.social @fotwl.bsky.social with Sally Alexander & Mary Evans reflecting on their interactions with its collections & archivists. It shaped their scholarship & feminism & this in turn influenced those coming in their wake.
wonderful to see this beautifully readable & important biography of a queer Irish figure being republished!
Thanks @ciaranon.bsky.social - it was such an honour to write this with Carole and Roisin, two scholars and friends I’ve learned so much from. Thanks to @irishhistsoc.bsky.social, in particular @elainefarrell.bsky.social & @clodaghtait.bsky.social
Special day. Hunters, Co Wicklow
