Subject and Association Description“My original idea was to use the names of all the women’s memorials in Scotland since the Red Clyde and the Women’s Rent Strike; but I also wanted the text to hug the coastline of mainland Scotland (I couldn’t fit text into the islands!) as all old maps show. Many of the memorials were inland so I decided to start with the Red Clyde and the Women’s Rent Strike (in Glasgow) and by a process of word association celebrate the qualities of all the women of Scotland; I didn’t want to name names as so many would have to be left out…
“Most of all I want to pay homage to everyone at The Women’s Library who have sustained so many of us over the years, in particular Sue John and Adele Patrick, without whom, as they say, none of this would have been possible.”
