The event will mark the publication of small white monkeys, a text written by Sophie Collins during her time at GWL, making use of materials from GWL’s Archive and Lending Library collections, including the Violence Against Women Archives, which holds records from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rape Crisis Centres, and the Zero Tolerance archives.

The project developed out of Sophie Collins commission by Book Works in collaboration with Glasgow Women’s Library as part of You Must Locate A Fantasy library residency scheme, which enables artists and writers to work with libraries, special collections and archives throughout the UK.
