WHERE ARE THE WOMEN: AN IMAGINED ATLAS OF SCOTLAND (PB)

For most of recorded history, women have been sidelined, if not silenced, by men who named the built environment after themselves. Now is the time to look unflinchingly at Scotland's heritage and bring those women who have been ignored to light. Can you imagine a different Scotland, a Scotland where women are commemorated in statues and streets and buildings - even in the hills and valleys? This is a guidebook in which Flora MacDonald surmounts the Glenfinnan Monument, the cave at Staffa is named after Malvina, Arthur’s Seat belongs to St Triduana, and the statues in central Glasgow are of suffragettes. In this ‘imagined atlas’ fictional streets, buildings, statues and monuments are dedicated to real women, telling their oft unknown stories.
