“Tribute to Glasgow’s forgotten heroines” by Sarah Swain, an article in the Evening Times, published in May 2007.
THE lives of forgotten women who helped shape Glasgow’s history – from shipyard workers to suffragettes – are to be celebrated.
The former city residents are to be brought to life as part of a walking tour in Glasgow’s West End.
Some took on men’s roles during World Wars while others made their mark by owning companies, campaigning for women’s rights or just surviving in harsh conditions.
Glasgow Women’s Library came up with the idea for the tour, which is part of next month’s West End Festival, after delving into the lives of the city’s women as part of their Women Make History group.
