Animated Activism: Women Empowered
An exhibition to get angry about.
From the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1970s to the present day, discover the vital work of two pioneering organisations.
In 1974, an activist collective of nearly 40 women’s refuges come together. They form a women-led national network – the Women’s Aid Federation of England.
In 1978 in Leeds, a small group of feminists complete a film about the need for pre-school childcare. They formally establish themselves as the women-run collective – Leeds Animation Workshop.
