Carol J. Adams is an American activist and author who has written extensively on the sexual politics of meat. Here she discusses how a culture of meat-eating and the objectification of women as flesh to be consumed are intimately connected. She argues that veganism and the dismantling of misogny go hand-in-hand. 

Sodfa Daaji is a Tunisian-Italian feminist engaged in Europe and Africa. Here she interestingly draws out the connections as well as differences between European and African cultures, traditions, and religions, and their effects on the achievements of women’s rights across both continents. 

Elizabeth Gordon is an artist and a campaigner against Non State Torture.  She advocates for non state torture to be named and recognised for what it is, so that the voices of survivors have the words to name the violence they suffered.  She campaigns for a human rights based approach to supporting survivors. She is interviewed here by Julian Norman.

Working people have always struggled to get their voices heard. The Working Class Movement Library in Salford records over 200 years of organising and campaigning by ordinary men and women. Our collection provides a rich insight into working people's daily lives as well as their thoughts, hopes, fears and the roles they played in the significant events of their time.  And it’s free for everyone to come and use…

The Library couldn’t function without its amazing team of volunteers, who undertake tasks such as welcoming visitors; cataloguing books, photographs, posters, badges etc; and looking after the Library’s garden which has been in severe need of taming!  We also have a dedicated team of volunteers who research and then write the display boards for our popular exhibitions.   FiLiA volunteer Sally came to speak to the team as they prepared the forthcoming suffrage centenary exhibition at the Library, Votes for Women…or Votes for Ladies?, which opens at the Library on 5 October 2018.
