Women’s Fight For Vote Celebrated In Scotland

Posted by admin on Jul 31, 2009

A new exhibition commemorating the Suffragettes’ fight in Scotland to win women the vote is opening.

The work, at the museum of Edinburgh, marks 100 years since a march in the Scottish capital to boost their cause.

It uses images and eye-witness accounts to tell the story of the Suffragettes’ struggle, which went on until 1928, when women were awarded the vote.

Edinburgh will also stage a re-enactment of the famous march, on 10 October, to mark its centenary.
