Description
The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht is a collection of essays and photographs that tells the story of a grassroots women's movement in Scotland, which took on the political establishment and changed the course of history. The five-year campaign to protect women's sex-based rights was marked by courage and determination, as women risked their jobs, reputations, and relationships to make their voices heard.
Through the stories of the women involved, including authors, politicians, and survivors of male violence, this book sheds light on a pivotal moment in contemporary history. From the impact of the campaign on the Scottish Parliament to the personal costs and consequences, The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht is a powerful and thought-provoking account of the power of collective action and the importance of protecting women's rights.
Published in 2024, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in feminism, politics, and social justice.
