In these digital materials for Media and English, students will explore the history of Spare Rib magazine and feminist enterprise to think about what feminist media and advertising might look like, and associated challenges.

These unique materials for GCSE and A Level have been created by a Research Fellow working on The Business of Women’s Words at the University of Sussex, using digitised and interactive material from the British Library's collection.
