I've done quite a bit of research, reading and my own writing on this subject.I was particularly incensed about women being banned from the hierarchy in the Anglican Church ( until recently).I wrote about an early campaigner Edith Picton Turbervill and also put her on Wikipedia.I am currently trying to campaign for a blue plaque for her in the town where she became the first female ( and only female so far) Labour MP.
Of course politics is another field, as is education.The End Sexism in Schools campaign is attempting to challenge the sexism in curriculum choices.( I was a member of the history team until recently).
Visible Women project is another one ( more statues), as is Monumental Women in Wales.
Writing and research is part of the push to end discrimination but we must also do stuff.And that takes a lot of commitment doesn't it?Reading your 'Map of a Nation' book and finding it fascinating as love walking and also have a map ( ordnance type real paper fanatic )husband.😁👍
This sounds like a wonderful project. Unfortunately, despite believing that women are the most-discriminated-against group in the world, I haven't done enough research to contribute anything. Over the years I felt that, being a man, my participation in women's liberation would be seen as just another way to usurp women from their rightful positions. Also, my main interest is in religion and metaphysics. I do have one thought, though: This project could turn out to be voluminous. The number of examples of women's oppression are huge and growing every day, especially now that there are so many trans women willing to knock women aside. Still, I'll be here reading the articles.
Wow, I love the sound of this new project, and thanks for the taster! Looking forward to the fortnightly reads. I’d be interested to know the legal aspects of ‘no women allowed’ spaces and activities and/or whether these are more customs / practices, if that’s within the remit?! I wonder how these spaces are ‘policed’ (in plural terms) and the actors involved and implicated in keeping women out (men, gov, regulatory bodies, religion)?
Sounds like a fascinating project. Like Anne I am interested in how this was maintained. Those opposed to women only spaces claim that enforcement is impossible without physical examination.

Fabulous idea
