Ahead of this week's court case, which sees Ministers in court on this (yet again), glad to have had this opportunity to talk about how the book came about and was put together, and why it matters, not least as a case study of failure in Scottish politics incitefulsisters.podbean.com/e/episode-2-...

The Women Who Wouldn’t Shut Up A review of Susan Dalgety and Lucy Hunter Blackburn’s ‘The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht’

On US publication day for #WomenWhoWouldntWheesht we couldn't have asked for a better review than this. Thank-you to Ben Appel. www.realityslaststand.com/p/the-women-...

A great evening, talking about the importance of argument and debate in politics, and how we harness the power of that to move forward on women's rights.

Looking forward very much to tomorrow evening's event with Susanna Rustin and Johann Lamont in Glasgow, organised by FiLiA and fundraising for Kakuma.

Still some places left - come and join us for lively discussion and reflection on what it means to write women's history.

We are proud that sales of the book will help women and girls elsewhere in the world currently among some of most silenced - any royalties due will go to organisations helping them. The book makes clear why we are not currently naming these organisations. We look forward to the day we feel we can.

This Isn't Over Yet Reflections on The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht Fringe event

Contributor to WWWW, Jenny Lindsay, reflects on Friday's event in a wider context. "I strongly believe that it is a feminist, liberal, democratic movement, that supports other women internationally, that gets a ‘win’ that will endure."

We had a great time today in conversation about The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht, with Tess White MSP, at our first-ever, sell-out event, held jointly with For Women Scotland, and joined by some of our wonderful contributors. The book festival fringe starts here...

Keir Starmer cannot ignore us | Lucy Hunter Blackburn and Susan Dalgety | The Critic Magazine When Morgan McSweeney, Labour’s campaign manager was plotting his general election grid, it is clear he did not include women’s rights as an issue that might disrupt his carefully calibrated “Change”…

"As the editors of the book — which traces the five years leading to the surprise resignation of Nicola Sturgeon in February 2023 — we were determined to showcase the solidarity among women across parties and, more remarkably, across Scotland’s constitutional divide" thecritic.co.uk/keir-starmer...
