Campaigning for Social Change in Linlithgow
Kathryn Welch
Thursday 20 February
Queen Margaret Hall, Blackness Road at 7:30pm.
Linlithgow resident Kathryn Welch is fascinated by the connections between who we are and where we’ve come from – how the lives of Linlithgow’s former residents shaped the world we live in today.
Following her research into the women who worked in Linlithgow’s munitions factory in WW1 and WW2, and their campaigns for equal pay, fair working conditions and women’s suffrage, Kathryn has been delving deeper into Linlithgow’s history of protest and activism.
Hear how local people have campaigned and fought for their rights throughout history, and how their activism has shaped our experiences today.
