The ambitions, frustrations, joys, sorrows and fears of these Scottish women offer unique lessons. Hope, empowerment, inspiration and reassurance that even at the hardest times, we are not alone.

Their stories are teased out – even when women’s words are lost to us, their identities and actions are remembered.
