Tears of Strathnaver Nov 26, 2021

by Sheena Macleod

( 3 )

$5.32

When your whole way of life is threatened, how far would you go to protect your family’s future?

Set in 1814, in the Highlands of Scotland, Tears of Strathnaver is a story of family, fortitude and survival against the odds. It shows the resilience of Mhàiri, the wife of a tenant farmer, who faces losing everything she holds dear. The land they are on is leased, and the wealthy landowner, who has the law on her side, wants it back.
In nearby townships, tenant farmers have already been forced from their homes and given no other option but to work in the new industries on the coast. Faced with two impossible choices, Mhàiri must choose the right path for her family. Their future depends on it.
How can Mhàiri survive in a new way of life that threatens the very fabric of her existence?

Set against the background of the Clearances in the Highlands of Scotland, Tears of Strathnaver shows the hardships faced by women when their men are away at war and the change in relationships on their return.

So, You Say I Can’t Vote!: Frances Connelly: The working-class woman’s route to the vote Oct 30, 2018

by Sheena Macleod, Laura Linham

( 7 )

$3.88

Women were granted the legal right to vote in Parliamentary elections in the UK in 1918. This right, however, extended only to property-owning, renting or university educated women over the age of thirty.
Seven years before this, Frances Connelly, a working woman walked past suffragists protesting outside the polling station in Yeovil, England, to cast her vote in an election. Her vote, and others like it, helped to keep the question in people’s minds — If one woman can vote, why not all?
Frances Connelly’s name is now largely unknown or forgotten. Her story is told here within the context of other women who voted in England before 1918, the struggles and complexities of the times in which these people lived and the contributions made by working-class women to women’s suffrage.
