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: Princess Matilda * St Margaret * Margaret
Tudor * Mary, Queen of Scots * Lady Grizel Baillie * Elsie Inglis *
Mary Slessor * Jane Carlyle * Marie Stopes * Nan Shepherd * Leila
Aboulela * Winnie Ewing * Muriel Spark * Liz Lochhead * Jackie Kay
* Ali Smith * Nicola Sturgeon
