Catherine Hall Lecture at the BMI, 24 September 2016

150 150 Women's History Birmingham

In her talk, Catherine Hall looked back to her time as part of the women’s liberation movement in Birmingham in the 1970s, and spoke about putting together the original ‘Birmingham Women: Past & Present’ trail, and what life was like as a feminist in Birmingham in this period.

Catherine withdrew from her first doctorate at the University of Birmingham to participate in second-wave feminism in Birmingham, including teaching women’s history classes at the Birmingham and Midland Institute which made it a particularly appropriate venue for this ‘Women’s History Birmingham’ event.
