Scottish
Women
 The
Scottish Suffragettes (Scots' Lives... An inspiring look
at the remarkable women who fought so tirelessly for equality.
Using new material, this study moves away from the ardent activists
in London and focuses on the campaign for the vote for women
in Scotland. Non-militant 'suffragist' groups were found countrywide,
from Ayrshire to Orkney, and involved thousands of Scottish
women of all ages and from all backgrounds. Unlike their attention-grabbing
counterparts the Suffragettes, these women laboured not only
for the right to vote, but also for the right to higher education,
to separate legal existence from their husbands, and to be actively
involved in local government. This is the story of individual
Scottish suffragists, resolute and passionate women whose lives
have been 'hidden from history', but who now receive the recognition
they deserve.
A
Unique and Glorious Mission: Women and... Presbyterianism
in Scotland, 1830-1930. This text studies the changing relationship
between women and Presbyterianism between 1830 and 1930. It
focuses on women's struggles to change institutional and ideological
structures, discussing their struggle for access to higher education
and the women's suffrage campaign.
