Join us for the launch of our new exhibition, ‘Women, Work and The City’. One hundred years ago women's suffrage activists weren't just interested in women getting the vote but in them gaining equality in all walks of life. A key focus was a woman's right to work - believing women should have access to the same professions as men. This exhibition explores the role of women in the London Guilds - from medieval times through to the 18th century - and will feature original manuscripts from the Guilds and Livery companies as well as suffrage literature. Cambridge historian Dr Amy Erickson will be joining us to talk about the history of women within the livery companies, and the impact this had on 20th century women historians.
Includes wine reception.
