For her eyes only: Nineteenth-century ladies’ newspapers This blog explores pioneering nineteenth-century newspapers and magazines created for female readers, sourced from the British Library and accessible via the Social History Archive.

Turns out 'bed-rotting' isn’t new, Victorian ladies were *literally* doing it first. Read more on this (and other news from 19th-century ladies' newspapers) in this latest blog 👇

I love it!

Foi em 1975, há precisamente 50 anos. Um protesto simbólico contra a opressão das mulheres, convocado pelo Movimento de Libertação de Mulheres, foi interrompido por uma multidão de homens que cercou e perseguiu as protestantes. As mulheres foram insultadas, assediadas e agredidas. 1/4

This week I’ll be in Castellon de la Plana for the international conference “Redes de Poder. Las mujeres de la realeza en las monarquias ibéricas”, organized by the wonderful Lledó Ruiz at the Universitat Jaume I.

Went to a tradicional typography in Seixal (Portugal) to learn about the beginning of printing. They even had a working replica of Gutenberg’s print. It was amazing!

Today will be talking about Women and the Memories of Invisibility @ NOVA FCSH.

A 1500 Welsh language poem, on display in British Library 'Medieval Women' exhibition.

It explains how Annes, abbess of Llanllyr, commissioned the bard Huw Cae Llwyd to perform for a knight, in the hope he would grant her one wish - a pet monkey! Sadly, we don't know if Annes got her mwnci! 🙈🙉🙊

I still can’t believe I got to see Christine de Pizan’s amazing books @britishlibrary.bsky.social
Medieval Women in Their Own Words is one of the best exhibitions ever!
