A lively exploration into the determined Scottish women of the predominantly Victorian and Edwardian periods and their fight and determination to achieve votes for women in a male dominated society.
Learn about women of all classes who fought proudly together; what tragedies they were dealt and the friendships that developed. Discover some of their antics and judge for yourself if they were too militant.
Learn why women fought against the system through the years. They suffered immense hardship, but this was the beginning of courageous and strong Scottish women fighting for what they believed in.
Using accounts from individual families of Scottish suffragettes and suffragists and photographs from their own albums, this book is able to shed light on how women were perceived by their family members, men, and the nation.
Explore individual areas of Scotland’s landscape. Journey through the cities and towns and observe the secrets and shame of how women were often treated at home, in educational establishments, the workplace and by the law.
Women’s Suffrage in Scotland seeks to understand the rights and beliefs of the women of Scotland, and their role in the path to women’s enfranchisement.
