Herstory

In the spring of 2019, the exhibition HerStory: Leiden’s Leading Ladies was organised by the graduate students of the class Museum Matters II: Curating Collections. The aim of this exhibition was to showcase the history of women at Leiden University, from its establishment in 1575 until today. HerStory moves us through how times have changed and the university develops from an exclusively male-dominated space into one where women become increasingly more involved.
