Location
The Library, London School of Economics
We are looking forward to the next session in this term’s talks programme on Wednesday October 9th, at 2.30 pm.
Dr Laura Lammasniemi of the University of Warwick will speak on ‘Archiving women’s struggles with the law’.
This talk, postponed from last term, will focus on the trials of women who were accused of transmitting venereal disease during the First World War, based on the archives of Association for Moral and Social Hygiene and those of the National Vigilance Association, which are held in The Women’s Library. She will highlight the importance of the Police Court Rota records and the role volunteer women played in creating and maintaining these important yet neglected sources of legal history.
The session will be hybrid: if coming in person, kindly email Susan Pares at susan.pares38@gmail.com by 8 October.
