Story Cafe – Girl By Girl, Vote By Vote

Saturday 17th November, 2pm – 3.30pm, Aberdeen Central Library

It’s 100 years since some women first got the vote in the UK.

Bring your daughters, granddaughters and nieces along to our Story Cafe to celebrate! Tuck into cake and nibbles as award-winning children’s author Sheena Wilkinson reveals the secrets behind her book, Star by Star, a bold tale of Suffragettes, courage and survival.

It’s 1918 and Stella has lost her suffragette mother to the terrible flu pandemic that is sweeping Europe. The Great War is finally coming to a close, and women are going to be able to vote for the first time. Stella wants to change the world – but she can’t do it all by herself.

Just as stars come one by one to brighten the night sky, so history is made person by person, girl by girl, vote by vote.
