Name/TitleBanner: GWL Slogans
About this objectSmall textile banner with tabs on top, made by artist Jeanie Black using feminist mottos, words and slogans from the badge collection in Glasgow Women's Library. Jeanie describes the banner as "a gift for the library as a wee thank you for the kindness I received during my placement and at my many visits after that. I created the fabric pieces to resemble white and pale yellow handkerchiefs with the slogans all hand stitched. The slogans came from the GWL badge collection which I adored. I was aiming for a juxtaposition of radical bold feminist slogans delicately stitched onto dainty lady's handkerchiefs, a quiet but powerful protest piece."
