"The Women's Library is both a mix of social history and political matters, showcasing the evolution of women's equality through a century of collected documents and artifacts."
"The exhibition features over 60 items, many on display for the first time, representing just a fraction of the extensive history preserved in The Women's Library."
"The 1885 Scandal is a focal point of the exhibition, detailing the campaign against the abuses of young girls and the subsequent public outcry that led to legal reforms."
The Women's Library, the UK's oldest and largest collection on women's history, marks its 100th anniversary with an exhibition. Founded by the London Society for Women's Service, it has evolved from its original location in Westminster to the London School of Economics. The collection includes social history and political matters related to women's equality. The exhibition features over 60 items, including significant historical documents, and highlights the 1885 Scandal that led to changes in the law regarding the age of consent. The exhibition is free and open until September 2026.
