In conversation: women and warfare

Join Libraries and Museums for a panel discussion examining how history frames and reframes women in positions of power.

Looking at the years of Mary, Queen of Scots and further, our speakers will explore themes like how women are represented, how much control they had over their own lives, and what factors influenced the legacies they left behind.

This event forms part of War, destruction and reform: the early years of Mary, Queen of Scots, a public programme accompanying the exhibition on view at the Wardlaw Museum from Saturday 7 March to Sunday 20 September 2026.

A varied programme of events, including family events, accompanies the exhibition.
