# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Wee Yellow Butterfly by Cathy McCormack – Audiobook Launch & Discussion
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Jun, 2025 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 21 Jun, 2025 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for the launch of a new freely-available Audiobook of the late Cathy McCormack’s The Wee Yellow Butterfly.

The Wee Yellow Butterfly – written with Marian Pallister and originally published in 2009 – tells the story of Cathy’s life and community activism in Easterhouse, particularly campaigning against damp housing conditions in Council-owned schemes in the ’80s and ’90s. Making the connections between these local social injustices and the global climate crisis led Cathy to help develop a pioneering solar heating project on the Easthall housing scheme, the first of its kind in the world.

We will listen to sections of the new Audiobook and discuss Cathy’s life and legacy with some of her friends, family and collaborators, including Marian Pallister and Cathy’s sons.

Glasgow Women’s Library now holds the archive of Cathy McCormack’s papers, following her death in 2022. As part of the Open Archive series, this event aims to raise awareness for the archive and the wealth of materials it holds for other community activists and researchers.

The new Audiobook is being produced by Cathy’s friends and fellow activists (Dan Glass, Carmen Robb and Ellie Harrison) with support from Glasgow Community Energy – Glasgow’s first community-owned renewable energy co-operative, which in 2024 launched the ‘Cathy McCormack Community Activism Fund’, using proceeds from selling renewable energy.

Supported by Glasgow Community Energy.
