It is also an opportunity for keepers and cataloguers to discuss issues related to the accessibility / inaccessibility of collections
It will provide a unique opportunity for these little-known or neglected histories of women to be revealed, for their stories to be recounted and evaluated, and for their impact in shaping society considered.
