Join Dr Karen Mailley-Watt on a whirlwind journey through Victorian and Edwardian Glasgow where she will investigate some buildings and spaces which were occupied, run, or utilised by the city’s women.
Meet some of the women who frequented Glasgow’s first woman-only residential club, The Glasgow Society of Lady Artists, at 5 Blythswood Square. The club, established in 1882, boasted an array of pioneering women including artists, architects, doctors, nurses, teachers, activists, and philanthropists. By 1893 the club expanded membership to include non-artist and professional members creating a long waiting list. Due to its popularity, the society had to move premises several times to respond to, and to accommodate the members ever-changing needs.
Through this illustrative talk, Karen will also touch upon other spaces and buildings used by women during this time including the Ladies’ Department and library at the Glasgow Athenaeum. Where appropriate she will highlight some of the fundraising techniques including Fancy Fairs and Bazaars which were used to fund such spaces and support pro-woman causes.
