A country's character is defined not only by its history, but also by the contribution of its people. With most history written by the victors (men), the history of their women is often overlooked. Women's contributions have been equally as rich and powerful, if voiceless, be they of noble or humble origins. Scotland's women are no exception. This class will explore their contributions be they on the political stage, in the arts, or in the home, and provide sources for further study. The class will include lists of books and websites.
