A Library of Her Own: Women and their book collections

Join us for a panel discussion to look at libraries owned by women or women who put their stamp on important book collections through the centuries.

Melanie Bigold, Cardiff University, is currently working on a research project on women’s libraries and book ownership, 1660-1820.

Philip Palmer, The Morgan Library & Museum, Robert H. Taylor Curator and Department Head of Literary and Historical Manuscripts, recently co-curated 'Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy'. 

Jessica Starr, Jarndyce, has an MA in the History of the Book from the University of London. 

This event is part of Firsts: London's Rare Book Fair, and will take place in the Talks Space on the top floor of Saatchi Gallery.
