Women's Suffrage in Scotland
About This Book
The stories of the Scottish women, rich and poor, rural and urban, who fought for the voteâincludes personal and family photos. This lively exploration into the determined Scottish women, primarily of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, who fought to achieve votes for women in a male dominated society delves into some of the antics they embarked on, the tragedies that were dealt them, and the friendships they developed. The book takes you through individual areas of Scotland's landscape and journeys through its cities and towns, revealing the secrets and shame of how women were often treated, at home, in educational establishments, in the workplace, and by the law. It discusses why women of various socioeconomic classes fought against the system through the years, in the face of immense hardship and venomous attacks by politicians, and the methods they used. In addition, accounts from individual families of Scottish suffragettes and suffragists, with photographs from their personal collections, shed light on how women were perceived by family members, men, and the nation.
