SUMMARY:“Dangers and Delusions”? Perspectives on the women’s suffrage movement.
DESCRIPTION:Displaying items from UCL Special Collections\, this exhibition examines the actions and reactions attending the women’s suffrage movement from the 1860s up to the Representation of the People Act 1918. Satirical commentaries including Laurence Housman’s Anti-Suffrage Alphabet are set alongside campaign literature and petitions for and against legislative change. \nThe movement calling for women’s right to vote in the United Kingdom was drawn out over several decades and generated intense differences of opinion\, not only between those for and against electoral equality\, but also within pro- and anti-suffrage campaigns. This exhibition draws on items held in UCL Special Collections – satirical commentaries\, campaign literature\, personal notes and petitions – to examine the actions and reactions surrounding the case for universal suffrage\, from the 1860s up to the fi rst legislative step towards equality for women: the Representation of the People Act\, 1918.

SUMMARY:‘This vexed question’: 500 years of women in medicine
DESCRIPTION:“Is there not a much better thing for women than to be ‘medical men’ and that is to be medical women? Has not the cart been put before the horse in this women’s medical movement?” \n Florence Nightingale\, 1871\n\nWhen thinking of female doctors\, most people’s minds turn to 19th century pioneers such as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. This view\, however\, masks a much longer and richer story of women in medicine stretching back through time. \nFemale apothecaries\, herbalists\, writers of medicinal recipes\, midwives – and of course doctors – have all worked within a male-dominated world for many centuries. Yet their roles have often been purposely obscured and frequently provoked fierce debate. \nThis September England and Wales’ oldest royal medical college\, the Royal College of Physicians\, marks its 500th anniversary with a major new exhibition that confounds prevailing notions of female participation in the medical professions and wider society. ‘This vexed question’: 500 years of women in medicine runs from 19 September 2018 to 18 January 2019. \nTaking its title from the comments of a progressive Victorian male medical student who lamented the physical violence with which some of his peers reacted to the ‘vexed question’ of women training to be doctors\, the exhibition explores the intriguing stories\, and battles\, of famous and forgotten female figures from more than half a millennium of medical practice. Highlights of the exhibition include: Britain’s first female doctors?\, Women persecuted for practising medicine and Midwives and apothecaries. \nAs well as a whole range of events including walking tours\, exhibition tours and a public programme.

SUMMARY:Ladies of Quality & Distinction at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Foundling Museum present a landmark exhibition highlighting the hidden stories of women in the Foundling Hospital’s history.\nMarking 100 years of female suffrage\, Ladies of Quality & Distinction resets the focus of the Foundling Hospital story\, revealing portraits and stories of the remarkable women who supported both the establishment and the running of London’s Foundling Hospital. Despite its male face\, women permeate every aspect of the Hospital story; as mothers\, supporters\, wet nurses\, staff\, apprentice masters\, artists\, musicians\, craftsmen and foundlings. Yet for almost 300 years\, history has placed these women as a footnote to the story. \nThis exhibition brings these overlooked stories to the fore. Discover portraits of the ‘ladies of quality and distinction’ who in 1735 signed Thomas Coram’s original petition to King George II calling for the establishment of the Foundling Hospital. Displayed together for the first time\, these paintings replace the portraits of male governors in the Picture Gallery. \nDownstairs in the exhibition gallery\, the lives of the women who supported the day-to-day running of the institution are brought to life. Highlights include Mrs Prudence West\, a female inspector and the only woman to run a branch Hospital; Miss Eleanor Barnes\, one of the earliest female Governors; and Mrs Elizabeth Leicester\, an early matron of the Foundling Hospital who oversaw some of its most challenging years.

SUMMARY:Remembering the Kindertransport: 80 Years On
DESCRIPTION:“What is my key message to future generations? Tolerance.”\n– Elsa Shamash\, Kindertransport refugee \nTo mark the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport\, discover the stories of six of the Kinder (child refugees) in their own words. \nIn 1938-39 the British government allowed 10\,000 Jewish and other ‘non-Aryan’ children from occupied Europe to come to Britain. This remarkable rescue operation became known as the Kindertransport. Now in their 80s and 90s\, the Kinder have given their testimony through the medium of film. You can also see personal objects and artefacts that they brought with them from their homelands. \nAs children they escaped violence and persecution\, but went through painful separations\, and their integration into British society was not always straightforward. This exhibition tells the story of rescue as well as stories of rupture\, loss and regret. \nThe Jewish Museum also has an extensive programme of talks\, lates and family events relating to this exhibition which can be found here.

SUMMARY:‘Where do we fit in?’ Black and Asian British History on the Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Afua Hirsch among panellists at School of Advanced Study’s interactive multimedia event challenging the dearth of Black and Asian British History on UK’s National Curriculum.\nThis event will bring together scholars\, artists and activists to discuss the presence and absence of black and minority ethnic Britons on the UK’s National Curriculum and seek to celebrate the contributions of Britons\, of all backgrounds\, to the history of the United Kingdom. A panel of contributors will discuss ways that BME British experiences have been marginalised from the histories taught in schools\, and how teachers\, scholars\, community leaders\, and politicians can work to ensure that these stories and experiences are taught and understood as British History. How can we make the teaching of history more inclusive and less Eurocentric? Is it time to teach the British movement for civil rights? What are the implications of the ways we teach and understand British history for public history\, memory and policy making? \nRather than following a standard panel format\, this event will also include space for the audience to experience black and Asian British cultural contributions. The evening will include special contributions by poets and performers\, including Momtaza Mehri\, the Young People’s Laureate for London\, and Hannah Lowe. \nConfirmed panellists include Afua Hirsch\, broadcaster and author of Brit(ish):  On Race\, Identity and Belonging\, Dr Jonathan Saha (Leeds)\, co-author of the Royal Historical Society’s Race\, Ethnicity & Equality Report\, Professor Claire Alexander (Manchester)\, project leader of Migration Story\, Suhaiyma Manzoor-Khan\, poet and writer\, and Professor Hakim Adi (Chichester\, leader of History Matters group.)

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: I am Ashurbanipal at the British Museum
DESCRIPTION:Warrior. Scholar. Empire builder. King slayer. Lion hunter. Librarian. Take a closer look at the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. \nKing Ashurbanipal of Assyria (r. 669–c. 631 BC) was the most powerful man on earth. He described himself in inscriptions as ‘king of the world’\, and his reign from the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) marked the high point of the Assyrian empire\, which stretched from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains of western Iran. \n___________________________________________________________________________________ \nAshurbanipal proved himself worthy of protecting his people through displays of strength\, such as hunting lions. Like many rulers of the ancient world\, he liked to boast about his victories in battle and brutally crushed his enemies. However\, this vast and diverse empire was controlled through more than just brute force. Ashurbanipal used his skills as a scholar\, diplomat and strategist to become one of Assyria’s greatest rulers. \nDespite his long and successful reign\, Ashurbanipal’s death is shrouded in mystery. Shortly afterwards\, the Assyrian empire fell and the great city of Nineveh was destroyed in 612 BC\, its ruins lost to history until the 1840s. Their rediscovery has allowed us to piece together a portrait of the powerful and complex ruler that was Ashurbanipal. \nThis major exhibition tells the story of Ashurbanipal through the British Museum’s unparalleled collection of Assyrian treasures and rare loans. Step into Ashurbanipal’s world through displays that evoke the splendour of his palace\, with its spectacular sculptures\, sumptuous furnishings and exotic gardens. Marvel at the workings of Ashurbanipal’s great library\, the first in the world to be created with the ambition of housing all knowledge under one roof. Come face to face with one of history’s greatest forgotten kings. \nBook your ticket here.
