Beskrivning

This book approaches the Scottish women’s suffrage campaign from the point of view of the popular press. Scottish suffrage campaigners acknowledged the need for press coverage from the start of the campaign in the 1870s, but the arrival of the militant suffragettes completely transformed newspaper coverage.
