The popular depiction of the women's suffrage movement is often London-based with 'suffragettes' chaining themselves to railings, marching for the cause, breaking windows, getting arrested and being forcibly fed by prison authorities. But the movement was more widespread than this might suggest. Throughout the country, as support grew, Scottish women were also playing an important part in the campaign for the parliamentary vote.
This book tells the story of the women's suffrage movement in Scotland, from the early Victorian era to the winning of limited rights in 1918. It is a remarkable record of lively, articulate and strong-minded individuals, from all walks of life, united by the fact that they were not regarded as equal citizens - an injustice that led, for some, to uncharacteristic law-breaking and spells in prison.
