Amazingg. We heard all about Gwenda's Garage from @SCQueerHistory when Dan Glass came to talk to us!
Join Out of the Archive and @WESTskills at @SheffMuseums in July for an afternoon talk celebrating women working in non-traditional trades. Speakers include one of the founders of Gwenda’s Garage, a lesbian-run car workshop open in Sheffield in the 80s >

Today marks 54 years since the riots which began with a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, and were a catalyst for the modern gay rights movement. I love this photo by Fred McDarrah taken outside the Stonewall in the days following the raid.

Happy birthday to Alice Anderson (right)! In 1919 she started an all-female garage in Melbourne, which taught women how to drive and service cars. Here she is in 1919, according to her sister, "pretending to be the boyfriend" of another young woman. #queerhistory #PrideMonth

Welcome to Sheffield Radical Pride! Globally, Pride has become a watered down, corporate event & we’re here to remind Sheffield it is a protest. Our liberation does not come from corporate or police ‘allyship’ or respectability politics Watch this space for our next moves.. 👀
