Our Mother's Land: Chapters in Welsh Women's History
Rose Mary's Anthology: Where Herstories Bloom is a curated collection of books celebrating women’s stories, experiences and achievements. Inspired by Rose Mary Crawshay’s legacy of libraries, learning and access to knowledge, the collection complements the physical Herstories installation designed to travel across Merthyr Libraries. The reading collection allows visitors to explore the themes of the installation further, discovering new perspectives and stories and creating a growing anthology where women’s voices can continue to bloom.
Pioneering research in the development of modern Welsh women’s history. The eight chapters range widely across time (1830-1939) and place, from exploring working class women’s community sanctions and the perils facing collier’s wife to the very different lifestyles of ironmasters’ wives.
