The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht

Dalgety, Susan, author2024 - 2025English
On the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament, this book captures an important moment in contemporary history: how a grassroots women's movement, harking back to the suffragettes and second wave feminists of the 1970s and 1980s, took on the political establishment - and changed the course of history. Through a collection of over 30 essays and photographs, some of the women involved tell the story of the five-year campaign to protect women's sex-based rights. It is the story of women who risked their job, reputation, even the bonds of family and friendship, to make their voices heard, and ended up - unexpectedly - contributing to the downfall of Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's first woman first minister. Above all, it is the story of the women who wouldn't wheesht!
