About the Women Make History project
Women Make History is the Glasgow Women’s Library history group. We aim to discover the hidden histories of women in the city and share this information with a wider audience.
Get Involved
Women Make History has been one of the Library's most active and popular groups, and for women interested in uncovering women’s history there are many ways to get involved.
West End Women's Heritage Walk
This pioneering women's heritage walk reveals a hidden history of the West End of Glasgow: pipe-smoking forewomen, revolting schoolmistresses, and the unique car made by and for women. A unique and inspiring insight into the hitherto unsung women who made the West End.
One Small Step
Two women discover the Women Make History project and start their journeys towards becoming a Tour Guide and a Women’s History Detective. This short film, produced by volunteers at GWL, will give you an insight into what it means to be a tour guide.
Glasgow’s Women and the Necropolis
A work in progress, this walk based in the Glasgow Necropolis looks at the stories of some of the notorious and the forgotten women who are buried in these atmospheric and ethereal surroundings.
