Women’s History Network 34th Annual Conference

Celebrating the Centenary of the Women’s Library and 100 Years of Women’s History (1926-2026)

3-4 September 2026, LSE Library & Friends House (Euston Road)

 

Our 34th annual conference coincides with the centenary of the founding of The Women’s Library, and provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate this unique resource, as well as 100 years of women’s history. The Women’s Library is the oldest and largest library in Britain devoted to the history of women’s campaigning and activism and encompasses a library, an archive and a museum. Founded in 1926 as the Library of the London Society for Women’s Service, it became the Fawcett Library in 1957 and was renamed The Women’s Library in 2002. It has moved several times, finding permanent residence at the LSE in 2013.
