The free pop-up event Sister Solidarity promotes recording and sharing women’s stories to mark the end of Women’s History Month, which ends this week.
The pop-up is going to give locals the chance to look through materials that document activism of women in the last 50 years from the library’s archives.
Nicky Hilton, the library’s Senior Archivist, told City News: “It will be a really inspiring event – I hope – that people will be able to come and share their own stories, and listen to other people’s stories, and be empowered and inspired to go away and make those spaces for themselves.”
The pop-up is a chance to find out more about everyday women’s lives, grassroots protests and the campaigns that have motivated women since the 1970s.

The event will also feature short talks across the evening.
Among the speakers are members of the Feminist Library Gail Chester, Magda Oldziejewska and Anna Pigot, who will discuss how the Feminist Library was created.
