Featuring more than 350 hours of audio and video content, Sisterhood and After is a new project from the British Library providing an oral history of the women’s liberation movement. The archive took three years to put together, with researchers interviewing key feminist activists of the 1970s and ’80s including writer and psychoanalyst Susie Orbach and Virago Press founder Ursula Owen.

The portal provides an insight into a historical moment that defined feminism, and some of the women who pushed for social change. How to use the resource? A timeline highlights important events including the Greenham Common Peace Camp, the introduction of the contraceptive pill and the election of the first black female MP. You can also explore Sisterhood and After by browsing themes such as Sex, Love and Friendship, Equality and Work, and Changing Cultures and the Arts. A unique and fascinating resource.
