Dr Vines collected this material in the course of her research for an intended biography of the two women. Over a number of summers she visited Ishbel in Lossiemouth and corresponded with her. Unfortunately, she had not finished the text when Ishbel died in 1982 and thereafter failed to find a publisher for it. Dr Vines lectured in British history at the University of Dayton, Ohio, in the USA. A great enthusiast for Britain, she spent almost every summer in the UK and retired to St. Andrews, Fife, where she lived for twenty years. The collection includes letters from Ishbel to Dr Vines and also from other members of the MacDonald family. Of particular significance are the manuscript notes of Ishbel MacDonald containing many recollections about her life and relationship with her parents. In addition, the 15 audio tapes are also significant as they contain interviews with Ishbel and read out extracts from her personal journals held at the National Archives in London. The collection also includes some photographs and transparencies. The collection has been arranged into the following series: 1-3 Correspondence, 1976-1994 4-11 Research notes and papers, c.

  • The Women's Cause : Feminist Campaigns 1918-1928
    1 THE WOMEN'S CAUSE: FEMINIST CAMPAIGNS 1918-1928 Ph.D Thesis / 6r, Vivien Cheryl Law UNIVERSITY OF LONDON INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION 2 Abstract This thesis shows that the first wave Women's Movement continued the struggle for the franchise during the Great War and throughout the 1920s until its success in 1928. It also details the campaigns for the social and economic emancipation of women in the period from 1918 to 1928. It provides a first step in recovering this history of political activity carried out through a network of women's organizations which expanded to embrace all aspects of women's lives. Chapter 1 acts an introduction and clarifies some questions of treatment and perspective. Chapter 2 describes the Movement's membership and details the suffragists' activities throughout the War and their contribution to the success of the franchise in 1918. In Chapter 3, the consequences for the women's organizations of re-ordering agendas and constitutions because of the vote, is followed in the next three chapters by a detailed examination of the post-War period of reconstruction. This includes the progress of women's political participation, the scale of the reforms it pursued and the economic problems of demobilisation and political opposition. The documentation•of the growth of political confidence and skill in the three General Elections from 1922 to 1924 in 3 Chapter 7, also serves to illustrate the diversity of approach enshrined in the non-party and party organizations. The reappraisal of feminist ideology is set within the context of the development of the equalitarian and welfare theories in Chapter 8.
