For Women’s History Month, Let’s Finally End Women’s Invisibility & Stereotyping in the History Curriculum - End Sexism in Schools When we change our approach to women’s history we start to ask questions that challenge the existing invisibility of women.

Hand-coloured print, showing a couple lying asleep in bed, snuggled up closely together and apparently snoring. Their clothes are draped around the room. Pinned on the wall by the bed is the verse 'Hush every breeze | Let nothing move | My Celia sleeps | and dreams of love.' The title underneath reads 'The bassoon with a french horn accompanyment'.

Our Woodward collection also contains works by some of his contemporaries, such as this print by Thomas #Rowlandson from 1811. What better way to celebrate enduring love than by gently - or not so gently - snoring together 😴

Folks, the lovely @cemeteryclub.bsky.social chap Sheldon and I have started a tour company. It’ll be running museum and London tours coupled with pubs where possible. We’ve called it ‘How to do History’, because frankly, history is best done with a beer, most of the time. Do give us a follow.
