Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the Scottish women’s suffrage campaign from the point of view of the popular press. It investigates how the press engaged with the women’s suffrage movement; how suffragettes were portrayed in newspapers; and how different groups attempted to use the press to get their message into the public sphere. Scottish suffrage campaigners acknowledged the need for press coverage from the start of the campaign in the 1870s, but the arrival of the militant suffragettes completely transformed newspaper coverage. The Scottish newspapers were particularly interested in suffragette activities during local by-elections and their hounding of local anti-suffrage MPs such as Herbert Asquith. The book also investigates the impact of the First World War on the movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of the Scottish women, rich and poor, rural and urban, who fought for the vote—includes 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.

Download or read book Struggle and Suffrage in Glasgow written by Judith Vallely and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth history of the fight for women’s rights in Scotland’s largest city. On a dark January night in 1914, Glasgow’s iconic Kibble Palace at the Botanic Gardens became the target of a bomb attack that shattered 27 large panes of glass. The police concluded it was the work of militant suffragettes after discovering footprints of ladies’ shoes…and an empty champagne bottle and cake. The attack was just one of many incidents as the women of Glasgow battled for the right to vote: marching on the streets, daring escapes from under the nose of police officers, and a meeting which ended in a riot. One hundred years from when some women were finally able to go to the ballot box for the first time, this book examines the inspirational women of Glasgow and their quest for equal rights and improvements in all areas of society. Covering the women who challenged miserable conditions facing workers; who fought for a formal university education and helped improve the health of the nation; who took part in the suffrage movement in Glasgow, from the first meetings to militant action and force feeding; who took on work, from driving trams to staffing hospitals on the frontline, when war broke out; and who went from gaining the right to vote to taking a seat in Parliament for the first time, Struggle and Suffrage in Glasgow uncovers stories of the pioneering women of the city who left a legacy for generations to come.

Download or read book The British Women s Suffrage Campaign 1866 1928 written by Harold L. Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Seminar Study was the first book to trace the British women’s suffrage campaign from its origins in the 1860s through to the achievement of equal suffrage in 1928. In this second edition, Smith provides new evidence drawn from the author’s research on how the main post-1918 women’s organisation (the NUSEC) worked with Conservative Party women to persuade the Conservative Party to endorse equal franchise rights. Smith focuses on the actions of reformers and their opponents, with due attention paid to the campaigns in Scotland and Wales as well as the movements in England. He explores why women’s suffrage was such a contentious issue, and how women gained the vote despite opponents’ fears that it would undermine gender boundaries. Suitable for students studying the Suffrage Movement, modern British history and the history of gender.
