Our history has been told countless times, but women usually only get a walk-on part. Scotland: Her Story aims to redress the balance, and offer a view of the nation’s high points and darkest times from women’s perspective. Drawing on court records, diaries, chronicles, letters, newspapers, memoirs and interviews, Rosemary Goring has gathered the experiences of women and girls since the middle ages, be they nuns, servants, housewives, toddlers, doctors, thieves, schoolchildren, politicians, cooks, novelists, and very many others. The result is an entirely original and often startling take on the past 1500 years. Rosemary was joined on the stage by Elizabeth Quigley, Journalist and TV Reporter.
