Working through my thesis on the #UnitedIrishwomen has me really excited to meet a wonderful group for the @Activism23 workshops and presentations. I never in a million years thought I'd be excited to talk about goat farming and herb growing, but that's activist women for ya!
One of my all time favourite historic radical texts! Ridiculed a lot at the time but imo it’s a charming and touching (not to mention brave!) insight into the left, relationships, sex and masculinity in Britain in the 1970s
@AlfieSteer @BishopsgateInst The archival connections !! For anyone else who wants to learn more: chrisknight.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Thanks @WomensInstitute WI Life magazine for featuring our @ahrcpress project @Activism23 . You can see where I got inspiration for the headline - The Telegraph 29 May 1968. Great to be working with WI & @SIGBI1 @SITWD & @IrelandICA on this @LSBU @LSBU_LSS & @UniKent project.
In my copy of @WomensInstitute Life, arrived today. @caitbeaumont @Activism23
Back in the office after a semester 1 sabbatical, (thanks @LSBU & @LSBU_LSS) which was nice, & to remind colleagues & students who I am I have adorned my door with clues. Thanks to @SusiRaymakers for my fab ‘CAIT’ card ❤️.
