- Description
- This book charts the history of the women's liberation movement in Scotland in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century. Based on documentary evidence and oral testimony from feminist activists, this book argues for the importance of looking at the movement from the grassroot perspective, as well as locating the struggle for women's liberation in the local context, shifting emphasis away from large cities like London. The book uncovers the reach of the movement and considers what case studies of women's liberation e.g. on abortion and violence against women can tell us about the ways in which the development of the movement has been portrayed. In the appendices: short biographies of oral history interviewees and the seven demands of the women's libration movement in Britain. Paperback. First published in hardback 2014.

- Description
- This book recovers the contribution made by women to museums, not just in roles such as workers, but also as donors, visitors, volunteers and patrons. It suggests that women persistently acted to domesticate the museum, by importing domestic objects and domestic regimes of value, as well as by making museums more welcoming to children, and even by stressing the importance of housekeeping at the museum. At the same time, women sought 'masculine' careers in science and curatorship, but found such aspirations hard to achieve: their contribution tended to be kept within clear, feminised areas.
