Where Are The Women? Invited speakers explored works in the Scottish collection through the lens of the Where Are the Women theme, a title borrowed from our headline speaker, author and activist Sara Sheridan. Gráinne Rice and Mara Barth hosted the fifth event in the Friday Night Mixer series.

In my talk Spectre of a Woman, I explored the birth of early photographic practice in Edinburgh through the lives of two women: the eighteenth-century pioneering chemist Elizabeth Fulhame, and the nineteenth-century subject Elizabeth Johnstone Hall - a Newhaven Fishwife.
