Our Mothers' Stories
Do you have a few minutes in your day to chat with your mum or grandma? Our Mothers' Stories is a new project connecting females to their mothers, grandmothers and each other.
When was the last time you heard a story from your mother or grandmother you'd never been told before? Often we forget to have deeper conversations with the people closest to us.

It might be a funny memory, a sad memory, a happy memory – any stories go. The form below is to share the story you uncover from your mother or grandmother. They'll be collated and shared on Womenclan platforms. There's some starter questions that could get a conversation going below:
