Women's History Network

The West of England and South Wales Women's History Network was established in 1993 by a group of female academics aimed at fostering research and interest in women's and gender history in the southwest of Britain. The network hosts various events, including an annual conference and workshops, as well as a Bristol Women's History Walk that has been redesigned to honour pioneering feminist activist Ellen Malos.

Recent activities include the unveiling of blue plaques to notable women such as Hilda Cashmore, a prominent figure in the settlement movement, and Mary Willcocks, a novelist and suffrage activist. The network's initiatives not only celebrate women's contributions to history but also raise awareness and recognition of their roles in shaping community life across the region.
