Scotland: Her Story: The Nation`s History by the Women Who Lived It

Scotland`s history has been told many times, but never exclusively by its women. This book takes a unique perspective on dramatic national events as well as ordinary life, as experienced by women down the centuries. From the saintly but severe medieval Queen Margaret to today`s first minister Nicola Sturgeon, it encompasses women from all stations of class and fame and notoriety, offering a tantalising view of what happened to them, and how they felt. Drawing on court and kirk records, exchequer rolls and treasurer`s accounts, diaries and memoirs, chap books and newspapers, government reports and eye-witness statements, Scotland: Her Story brings to life the half of history that has for too long been hidden or ignored.Features material by from a hugely diverse range of authors, including:The Maid of Norway * Princess Matilda * St Margaret * Margaret Tudor * Mary, Queen of Scots * Lady Grizel Baillie * Elsie Inglis * Mary Slessor * Catherine Dickens * Jane Carlyle * Lesely Riddoch * Catherine Carswell * Marie Stopes * Nan Shepherd * Leila Aboulela * Sue Black * Mary Contini * Rona Cameron * Elaine C. Smith * Jessie Kesson * Winnie Ewing * Muriel Spark * Liz Lochhead * Lulu * Janice Galloway * Jackie Kay * Ali Smith * Liz McColgan * Judy Murray * Nicola Benedetti * Nicola Sturgeon
