This ring-bound document, A4 in size and running to 42 pages, was developed in conjunction with the People’s Story Museum, Cannongate, for Standard Grade investigations. The strength of the folder is in its reproduction of newspaper articles from major Edinburgh suffrage-related events, such as the 1909 procession and the forcible feeding of Ethel Moorhead at Calton Gaol in 1914. It also offers a balancing insight into anti-suffrage leanings in the capital. Of note is an account of the 1909 procession in which only 332 women are counted instead of the published figures of 1500 or 3000 – and also a damning criticism of militancy by Dr Elsie Inglis of the NUWSS and later Scottish War Hospitals fame.
