Remembering  Resistance   is  a  project  that  brings  to  life  the last  100  years of women’s involvement in  protests  in  the  North  of  England 

In 1918, after decades of protest, all men and some women got the vote. To mark the centenary of this milestone in women’s rights, this Heritage Lottery Fund supported project will catalogue, celebrate,
and engage the public in women's efforts to ​bring about political change.

HERE  ARE  SOME  OF THE  THINGS  WE'RE  DOING  

protest tales

We want to learn more about the experiences of women involved in protest, so we're collecting oral histories of women who have taken part in protests over recent decades. We're also compiling a database of oral history archives held across the UK. 

POP-UP  EVENTS  ​

Throughout the project we want to share what we're learning with communities who live in areas with a history of protest. We'll be organising 'pop-up' events to display the story of protest in particular areas, and to invite members of the community to get involved.

​PROTEST MAPPING

We want to identify the top 10 most significant sites for women's protest in the North of England. To do this, we're mapping all the protests in which women have played a significant role over the last 100 years to tell the story of protest, power, and place in the region.    

All  the  information  we  gather   will  be  freely available  TO  THE PUBLIC,  ACADEMICS,  &  LOCAL  HISTORIANS  at the  end   of  the  project

Remembering Resistance focuses on women's experiences, this includes Trans, Intersex women, non-binary and gender fluid people.
