Research title: Women’s life-writing and the suffrage campaign in Scotland c.1870s-1970s.
Research Summary
My overall research interests lie in women’s activism in Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
My PhD research examines the relationship between the progress, long-term impact and remembrance of the Scottish suffrage campaign, and the personal experiences, subjectivities and narratives of its participants.
My project is funded by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities.
