This book tells the remarkable stories of ten women whose
inspirational lives and struggles exemplify the concerns and
problems that other women have faced throughout the last two
centuries. Each is the subject of a chapter devoted to her
particular story and the times in which she lived. The nineteenth
and twentieth centuries witnessed great changes in women's position
in Scotland, and yet little is known about the achievements of the
Scottish women who were the main agents of these changes. In
presenting the life stories of ten women, William Knox provides
evidence of the huge contribution made by women to the shaping of
modern Scotland. At the same time he shows how the life histories
of individuals can reveal previously dark corners of historical
understanding and allow a more nuanced picture of Scottish society
as a whole. Subjects include Jane Welsh Carlyle, brilliantly
gifted, but married to the wayward and demandingThomas, Sophia
Jex-Blake, Scotland's first female doctor, and Mary Slessor, the
'White Queen' missionary. Individually their biographies are full
of drama and interest. Collectively they say about much the range
of women's economic, social and political experience in the past
two hundred years.
