Exciting times - teen girls met to shortlist artists for our sculpture for the York Trailblazers trail. Our ‘Make Space for Girls’ in Rowntree Park teamed up with @HerstoryYork - the sculpture will represent a strong York female who saw ‘space’ differently. #yorktrailblazers
International Women's Day 2024 - Update In 2023-24 Herstory.York and York Museums Trust worked with University of York History students to research 10 ‘complicated’ stories of women. They uncovered stories of mental health, same sex love, crime and poverty. Find out more here.
We won an award! Women's History Network Community History Prize 2023 commendation for ‘Herstory.York’ which 'demonstrated very good levels of community engagement, ‘working wonders’ on a relatively small budget (while recognising its limitations) and had produced good resources'
Chronic Bias against Women A new UN report has revealed: 'no improvement in the level of prejudice shown against women over the past decade, with almost nine out of 10 men and women worldwide still holding such biases'
Insightful @YorkFestofIdeas talk on women’s history yesterday! And also a great chance to learn more about @HerstoryYork
First Woman Council Leader! Councillor Claire Douglas (Labour) has become the first woman to lead the unified authority in York. Claire said: “I want there to be a majority of women on the Executive, then women can feel confident that their voices are being listened to in York"
Call out for events/sessions to be part of our ‘Make Space for Girls’ June programme in Rowntree Park. Sports/exercise/the arts - all welcome. Aimed at 10-16 yr olds and focused on getting girls back into the public space! Deadline 29/4 Drop a line - [email protected]
To mark #WomensHistoryMonth we've highlighted some of our stories about women in the history of our local area, in our latest blogpost at clementshallhistorygroup.org.uk/blog/womens-hi… @HerstoryYork
HERSTORY.YORK Film - we are now live on YouTube! youtube.com/watch?v=IKkSss… With MASSIVE thanks to our volunteer producers Carys Deacon and Elizabeth Carlyle, students in Cultural Heritage Management and Digital Heritage respectively at the @UniOfYork. Please share.

Hugely exciting news - the updated version of thinkinghistory.co.uk/index.html from @BearWithOneEar is live!
Looking for something to do in #York? Why not uncover the city’s history from a variety of different social perspectives. Our free digital audio trail 100 Women has been created in partnership with @HerstoryYork and is available at goodorganisation.co.uk/100women.html
We’re searching for a social media manager! Send us a DM if you’re interested in this position #herstoryyork #volunteering
@YorkHistoryDept @UoYCareers Our project partners included @YorkMuseumTrust @HerstoryYork @YArchaeology @MTaylorsYork. It's wonderful to hear about what a positive experience both our students and partners had!
💜 You have just ONE WEEK left to see 'HERSTORY.YORK – 100 Women Changemakers'! 💜 It celebrates inspirational women who, from 1918 to 2018, have made a difference to #York and whose stories have not been told or only partially told. 👉yorkcastlemuseum.org.uk/exhibition/her… @HerstoryYork

On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question…
Yes, you are. This tweet perfectly sums up how & why gender ideology is so regressive, harmful, misogynist and homophobic. It relies on every ignorant, offensive, heteronormative trope about masculinity and femininity (social constructs) to define people. Doc Stock is ALL woman.
@rizpossnett Am I wrong is seeing Kathleen Stock as, for all intents and purposes, a trans man? It's like she's fighting against everything gender non-conforming except her own particular expression of gender non-conforming.

I would have loved to have ‘popped in’ to see my husband when he was in the hospital having had a stroke but I had to sit crying in the car park on my own instead. What an absolute bunch of out of touch knobs this government is.
Mr Raab told @carldinnen 'Carrie popped in to check in on the prime minister' during a 'work meeting' 'I think it’s frankly a bit uncharitable for people to think that a wife wouldn’t do that in relation to her husband in the conditions we're describing' itv.com/news/2021-12-1…
Me: "Can we have a debate on the impact of Brexit and a region by region report?" Rees-Mogg: "Brexit prayer...Brexit song...Gloria in excelsis Deo...happy fish." This is the level of debate I've come to expect from this Government 🤦♀️ @BestForBritain @Femi_Sorry @Scientists4EU

My thoughts on maps, and the accidental creation of a book series
"Maps are objects of pleasure & anticipation for me, promises of holidays & beautiful in their own right, but they used to be safety blankets..." To begin our #WhereWeFindOurselves #blogtour @CherryJPotts explores the theme of #maps & mapping bit.ly/3aZmgVK #anthology
1) With great regret I am taking a leave of absence from my show @ClassicFM, for health reasons. The road has been a bit bumpy recently, and I need to take some time to focus on getting better.
Right from the outset I said this was the inevitable outcome. It could never be about “just 3 schools” because the system wasn’t set up like that. It remains to be seen how “autonomy” works in an ever-increasing organisation. 😔 yorkpress.co.uk/news/19639006.…
