For Women Scotland campaigned for the rights of women, and won. They didn't wear masks, they didn't carry banners threatening to decapitate the opposition, they didn't spit or refuse to debate; they spoke with logic and sense. They are complete heroes.

It’s ‘Bricks and Flowers’ by Katherine Everett. Available for purchase in practically every second hand bookshop in the UK - but I never thought of buying it until I read a recent recommendation on Twitter. And I’m really enjoying it!
