Where are
the Women? (2019)

 

In this ‘imagined atlas’ fictional streets, buildings, statues and monuments are dedicated to real women, weaving their often untold stories into Scotland’s landscape.

"Individually, and collectively, women have made a profound contribution to the domestic, institutional, scientific, sporting, cultural and public lives of Scotland. It is Sara’s use of her imagination that enables her book to punch a clear message to everyone who reads it: women deserve to celebrated and commemorated.

There are stories that challenge us, move us, force us to reflect, and increase our appreciation of how women shaped the Scotland we know today.

I congratulate Sara for having the imagination, vision and determination to challenge perspectives of the role and place of women in Scotland."

First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon
