Do you remember the 1990 NETWORK ‘Over the Rainbow’ campaign?

Do you remember the 1990 NETWORK ‘Over the Rainbow’ campaign?
March 14, 2026 Bronwen

You may remember that over the past few years Hannah Worthen and Ruth Slatter have been working with the Methodist Women’s Collection at Epworth Old Rectory to explore histories of Methodist women in Britain since 1945.

Earlier this week, we published an article from this research in Women’s History Review. The article focuses on the Over the Rainbow event organised by Network in 1990 to stand in solidarity with those campaigning against apartheid.

The article is free for anyone to download using the link below. So please do share with anyone you think might find it interesting.
