Hackney Museum is currently hosting an excellent exhibit in the history of radical women and women’s activism in the Borough. (Obviously if I had my act together, I would have posted this yesterday on International Women’s Day)
The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the East End Women’s Museum who have details on their website. There is also some information on the Council’s website here.
A visit is recommended – there is a great spread of material from the Suffragettes through to the peace movement and even Nicola Thorp’s shoes.
There’s an interview on East London Radio about the exhibition too:
Hackney Museum, 1 Reading Ln, London E8 1GQ.
- 9.30am – 5.30pm Tues, Wed, Fri

The Museum is also currently working on an exhibition of black music in the borough and seeking contributions and input.
