This collection includes the digital records of LSE School Management Committee (SMC), including minutes and papers of SMC meetings. The first series consists of the public (redacted) minutes of SMC meetings held between 2017 and 2021. More information on the committee is available from the LSE SMC page.

This collection includes the born-digital records of The Women's Resource Centre (WRC). The first series consists of material relating to 'Sisters Doing it for Themselves', a project run by WRC to mark the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM) in 2020.

This collection includes the recordings of 16 interviews carried out to mark the 50th anniversary of Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM) in 2020. For the occasion, the Women's Resource Centre (WRC) ran a project called 'Sisters Doing It For Themselves', funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to create a unique oral history archive documenting the testimonies of current and past leaders.

The Women’s Voluntary and Community Sector (WVCS) grew out of the Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM). The contribution of the WVCS in advancing women’s rights is largely undocumented. Many of the women who were involved in setting up women’s organisations and campaigning for change are now in their late 50s and 60s. Their struggles and achievements have remained largely invisible.

This archive illustrates the impact that the WVCS has had on the structural position of women, through campaigning and influencing. The archive will also provide insight into the impact on the lives of the women themselves as drivers of the movement.

The following women have been interviewed:
Rosalind Bragg - Maternity Action
Lee Eggleston OBE & Sheila Coates MBE - Rape Crisis
Sarbjit Ganger - Asian Women's Resource Centre
Esuantsiwa Jane Goldsmith - Healing Solidarity International Feminist Collective
Carolina Gottardo - Latin American Women's Rights

Marai Larasi MBE

1993 - graduation day

Personal author: Gao, Biqi

I went to LSE in 2013 for a graduate study in social policy and graduated from the School with a Master of Science in Development and Social Policy a year later. Being a student of LSE provided me a great opportunity to see the world and to learn more about social policies from my excellent lecturers and fellow students from all over the world. One of my most impressive memory of life in LSE was the department trip to Cumberland Lodge in January 2014. We worked in groups on researching and making policies on different subjects, such as education, traffic problem, public health, etc. It was a wonderful memory of discussing and presenting opinions on police-making with my intelligent group members, as well as an unforgettable memory of a weekend in the beautiful Windsor Great Park. In LSE, the courses I took on health, gender and social welfare, reshaped my understanding of social development, and then contributed to my career in public sector in my home country. Now I'm working for a institution that provides in-service education for schoolteachers from rural areas of China, which helps them to be accessible to more advanced teaching resources, and may finally contribute to improving the education levels of rural areas. It is my experience in LSE that inspires me to work for better education for teachers, and to keep on working even harder in the future.

On 18th Dec 2013, I had my graduation ceremony from LSE, officially holding my degree in MSc in Gender, Development and Globalisation. The degree is very rare for a man, male person, heterosexual feminist man, diversity-oriented gender studier, who is from Busan, South Korea, however, I am so proud of my achievement and time that I could spend with most wonderful women and men, human beings, friends and colleagues from Gender Institute and other departments at LSE. Although it was just one year, I loved it so much so that I had to bring someone who I love with me for my graduation day. It was my mom. She was sitting at the very front seat while I was shaking hands with the then Dean of the School, David Calhoun. So much great memory and a sweet end of the time, which will last forever and ever. Thank you very much, LSE, for being always the smallest but most beutiful part of my life. Thank you.

During my first month as a student in the Global Media and Communications Track (LSE-USC) we were given the opportunity to spend a weekend at the famed Cumberland lodge. The weekend was packed with academic events along with fun activities to help the diverse student body familiarise with each other. In those two days, we discussed world events, understood the nuances of the course, laughed over trivial matters, and made unforgettable memories in the midst of the magnificent Windsor Great Park. It was in those two days that I truly became a #PartofLSE
