Detail InformationEdit

The Feminist Library was founded as the Women’s Research and Resources Centre in 1975 by a group of women concerned about the future of the Fawcett Library to ensure that the history of the women’s liberation movement survived.The library started out as a small collection of contemporary material, but is now considered to be most significant library of feminist material in England, containing some 7500 books, of which around 5000 are non-fiction, 500 poetry publications, and 1500 periodical titles, many self-published, spanning over about 85 metres of shelving. There is also a large number of pamphlets, currently held at the Bishopsgate Institute.
The library faced a financial crisis in 2003 when Lambeth Council dramatically increased the rent on the building housing the collections.Four years later, in 2007, the management committee called an emergency meeting as a final attempt to gather support. Fortunately, the meeting was well attended and the library was saved, although it still struggles today, depending on grants to survive; whilst it was once available three days per week, the doors are now only open from 11am to 5pm on some Saturdays, depending on availability of volunteers.
