This Thursday sees the official opening of the new Women's Library, crammed with books, magazines and archives covering three and half centuries of women's history.
As part of the celebrations, a number of high-profile individuals have been invited to select items from the collection that reflect a key moment in their lives. The broadcaster and journalist Trevor Phillips, now Deputy Mayor of London, made history in 1978 when he became the first black president of the National Union of Students. And it's from his student days that he's selected an early poster highlighting domestic violence. He described the image to Corrine Julius.
You can see Trevor Phillip's choice in the Cooks and Campaigners exhibition that opens in the Library on the 14 February.
