Suffrage Tree and Glasgow Women's Library








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.
