Jackie Kay and Hollie McNish at Glasgow Women's Library

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.
