</font><font size=4>From Page to Screen: Making and Remembering Women's
History. The Women's Library, Friday 26th October, 1pm - 6pm<br>
<br>
Organised in support of The Women's Library Campaign, this half-day event
celebrates women's history by exploring how it is made and
remembered.<br><br>
Coinciding with The Women's Library exhibition 'The long march to
equality - treasures of The Women's Library', this event asks how aspects
of women's history and 'the women's movement' have been represented and
mediated at different moments in time across TWL, historical biographies
and popular television drama. <br>
<br>
Following an overview of TWL collections, their latest exhibition (Dianne
Shepherd, TWL Librarian) and an update of their campaign (Beth Mercer,
Head of TWL) June Purvis (Professor of Women's and Gender history)
explores the biographies of Emmeline Pankhurst, while Helen Wheatley
(Associate Professor of Film and Television Studies) and Vicky Ball
(Lecturer in Film, Media and Cultural Studies) explore the way in which
dramas such as Upstairs Downstairs and Shoulder to Shoulder also engage
with histories of women and the women's movement. All three speakers
engage with aspects of women's history associated with the first wave of
feminism and how these are mediated and represented in the context of the
second wave and beyond. Each account draws attention to which aspects of
women's history are made and remembered and from whose perspective such
histories are told.<br>
<br>
This event has been organised by the Women's Film History Network and
MeCCSA Women's Media Studies Network and has received additional
sponsorship from the Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies,
University of Sunderland. <br>
