Women Saying No - Making a Positive Case Against Independence (Paperback)

If a majority of us decide to vote YES on 18 September 2014, then that divorce from the rest of the UK is easy to do. No expensive lawyers. No cost except the travel to the polling station… No need to lift a finger. Just a cross on a ballot paper. But before you say, that’s great, think on… This is a decision we will live with for the rest of our lives, and our children’s and grandchildren’s, for maybe centuries to come. - MARIA FYFE It’s been noted over and over again that women are more likely to vote NO in Scotland’s Referendum 2014. There has been endless speculation as to why this may be, but until now little expression of their views has been heard. In a series of essays arguing for a NO vote at the forthcoming Scottish independence referendum, 14 women varying in age, ethnicity, political views and life experience – including Maria Fyfe, Johann Lamont MSP, Sarah Boyack MSP and Fiona O’Donnell MP – come together to make a positive case against independence. With contributions from leading current and former politicians and citizens, Women Saying No presents the arguments against independence, from a female perspective, in an attempt to widen the debate.
