First iteration of the Festival was November 1981; programmes included theatre, readings, music, dance, conferences and exhibitions at venues across Edinburgh. Women Live was a voluntary organisation with a credo to ‘raise the confidence and effectiveness of women’. Annual membership subscriptions were available at £5.00 waged and £2.00 unwaged.

Collected for the Remember When LBGT project.

The Remember When project was an oral and community history project which documented the lives and achievements of Edinburgh’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, past and present and was a joint initiative between the City of Edinburgh and the Living Memory Association.

The project recorded the stories of a wide range of Edinburgh’s LGBT communities and showed how they have continually made a distinctive and valuable contribution to life in Edinburgh.
