She Who Struggles: The Revolutionary Women Who Shaped The World
With Marral Shamshiri and Sorcha Thomson

Discover a hidden history of leaders, rebels, trailblazers, guerrillas and writers. Marral Shamshiri and Sorcha Thomson introduce revolutionary women's lives and movements from across the globe, from histories unjustly dominated by men. Explore this revolutionary internationalism that speaks to feminist, anti-colonial, and antiracist struggles today.

Marral Shamshiri is a doctoral researcher at the London School of Economics and managing editor of the journal Cold War History.
Sorcha Thomson is a historian and an associate research fellow at Birkbeck, University of London. She is co-editor of the book Palestine in the World and an editor of the History Workshop magazine.

In this talk, activists and historians Sorcha Thomson and Marral Shamshiri set the record straight, revealing how women have contributed to revolutionary movements across the world in endless ways; and how we must actively write these women into history.

45min talk, followed by opportunity for audience questions.
