Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://eastendwomensmuseum.org:
The museum was established in 2015, in response to a huge missed opportunity - when a proposed women's history museum on Cable Street in East London was revealed to only tell the story of a misogynistic serial killer.
Dedicated to making something positive out of the resulting uproar, one of our founders, Sara Huws, reached out to an old friend, Sarah Jackson, and together they created the East End Women’s Museum. Within a week they had over 800 people sign up to help out, and the New York Times asking when they were opening! It was clear the museum was needed, wanted - and here to stay.
