I heard about Glasgow Women’s Library at a suffrage conference and so had to pop in while in Glasgow. It has a umbrellas stand painted in suffragette colours from the 1910’s. I wandered the aisles looking at the books and stopped at the suffrage section. I chose ‘Suffrage in photographs’ and sat on an arm chair reading it. After the library I visited the Suffrage tree, planted in 1918 to commemorate the Representation of the People Act. Alas it was struck by lightening recently, but new shoots were forming.
Here you will find the travel diaries of Ms Keela. I apologise in advance for my poor english. English is my second language, Bristolian is my first.
