Book
Our Sister's Land: The Changing Identity of Women in Wales
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.
This text brings together a collection of interdisciplinary research papers on the changing identity of women in Wales. Research findings are complemented by cameo "voices" - personal accounts by a variety of individual women living and working in Wales. The volume is illustrated with photographs especially commissioned from the photographer Mary Giles.
