The next presentation in the talks programme of the Friends of The Women’s Library, on Wednesday 16 March at 2.30 pm, will be
Anne Summers, ‘The women who didn’t … reflections on female middle-class poverty, c. 1850-1950’.
Dr Anne Summers, Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck, is a former Curator of Modern Historical Manuscripts at the British Library; most of her publications focus on women’s philanthropic activism in the 19th and 20th centuries. This work-in-progress paper is prompted by her current research on the archive of The Working Ladies’ Guild for Necessitous Gentlewomen.
