The first series of records consists of oral histories recorded as part of a project called 'These Dangerous Women', to mark the 100th anniversary of WILPF.

The series contains the recordings of interviews of 8 members of WILPF and related documents. The interviews were conducted between 2013 and 2015, as part of a part of the 'These Dangerous Women' community heritage project to mark the centenary of the formation of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). Funded by the National Lottery Heritage and run by Clapham Film Unit and WILPF, the project's aims were to celebrate and commemorate the women who tried to stop World War I and founded the organisation.
