You’ll have had yer feminism? is a documentary podcast charting the history of Engender, and wider women’s movement in Scotland. Created by Amanda Stanley for Engender, it features interviews with women who have shaped feminism , fought for change, and inspired new generations.  Episode two sees Amanda speaking with Nicola Maksymuik at the Glasgow Women's Library about the importance of preserving women's history, and chatting to Fiona Forsyth, Petra Matthias, and Professor Angela O'Hagan. See the photography exhibition accompanying the podcast at: www.youllhavehadyerfeminism.com/ In this episode, you'll also hear folk talking about Professor Ailsa McKay and Dr Sue Innes who are sadly no longer with us, and much missed.  Ailsa was a feminist economist who wrote, among other things Counting on Marilyn Waring: New Advances in Feminist Economics and was the founder of the Wise Centre for Economic Justice. Sue was a journalist and founding member of Engender. She wrote Making It Work: Women, Change and Challenge in the 1990s and was an editor of the first edition of The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women. We stand on their shoulders.

National Poet for Scotland Jackie Kay takes fellow poet Hollie McNish along to Glasgow Women's Library, where they delve into a rich collection of artefacts, artwork and materials tracing women's history through the ages. Inside they talk to staff about the origins of the library and discuss issues of women's representation across society, education and the arts, while also reflecting on the important role that public art and literature plays in shaping the way we see ourselves.
