The Feminist Library is a large archive collection of feminist literature, particularly Women’s Liberation Movement materials dating from the late 1960s to the 1990s. We support research, activist and community projects in this field. The Library is also an autonomous feminist community space. The Library is trans-inclusive, welcomes visitors of any gender, does not require registration or membership, and provides an intersectional, non-sectarian space for the exploration of feminism. You can view our our Community Policy here. Why not search our Online Catalogue, explore our Collection, or find out more about our Activities and Events. If you would like to find out more about Volunteering or becoming a Friend to support the Library financially, please do get in touch. Originally known as the Women’s Research and Resources Centre (WRRC), the Feminist Library was set up in 1975, at the height of the Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM), a time of intense political campaigning and lively collective organising. Learn more about our Herstory here. Since the Library’s beginnings, it has provided a place where women could network and educate themselves, and has become a contact point for women locally, nationally and internationally. Today the Library continues its drive for inclusion and accessibility. The Library is run by a collective of volunteers, with a management structure committed to making decisions by consensus.

The workplace is changing, and the role that midlife women play in the workplace is changing with it. With women over 50 currently shown to be the fastest growing sector of the workforce, it is inevitable that your organisation will likely have employees working through their menopause transition. Why does this matter? Because the physical and emotional changes that can affect some women as they transition through menopause can create temporary difficulties which may have an impact on performance. Research has shown that as many as 25% of women have considered resigning as a result of a lack of support from their employer. With an estimated cost of £30-35K to recruit a vacant post, not to mention the loss of intellectual capital, it makes sense for employers to actively support their staff through this natural life stage. And it’s not just women either! We need to consider those who don’t identify as cis women but who also may experience the impact of hormonal changes through menopause, that’s basically anyone who has menstruated at any time in their life including trans men and non-binary employees. And let’s not forget the number of people who experience an early menopause due to surgical or medical intervention, they need support too. That’s why at Floresco Training Ltd our primary purpose is to help employers to raise awareness and understanding of this natural, but often ignored and misunderstood life stage, to ensure that everyone feels supported, valued and heard.
