We had teachers from Highgate Woods and Heartlands come to some of the sessions we ran a couple of years ago, so hopefully this will inspire them too. What school did you go to?

It is still not mentioned. Stafford and Winston went to the school that I teach at, and now we have this resource we can finally get it on the curriculum.

Well there you go! If you DM me your email then we can bounce around some ideas. But im sure @sashasmith.bsky.social would be very interested, she is a strong advocate for women's history and using material culture in the classroom

Sadly not, but looks intriguing! I wrote my Masters thesis on the Jewish League for Women's Suffrage, and loved trawling through the archive material from the Women's Library.

The pleasure was all ours! It meant so much to me and many others to spend time with you at #SHP26. Forgive me if I've paraphrased your favourite quote inaccurately, but 'it's more than history, pet, it's family'!
