About the exhibition:
This exhibition marks 50 years since the United Nations declared 1975 International Women’s Year and held the first International Conference on Women in Mexico. It was the beginning of the United Nations Decade for Women with further conferences in Copenhagen and Nairobi and a final one in Beijing in 1995 to see how far they had come and what still needed to be done.
This exhibition draws on the collections in The Women’s Library at LSE to highlight the promises, challenges, and critiques of the United Nations Decade for Women and the wider histories and legacies of transnational feminisms that grew from 1975 and still exist today.
Curated by Dr Imaobong Umoren (LSE Department of International History) and Dr Gillian Murphy (LSE Library)
