GWL East End Women's Heritage Walk Map (PDF) The women of Glasgow’s East End have always had to be industrious and resourceful simply to survive. This walk focuses on some of their achievements and struggles, and the radical nature of the area which gave birth to them. But fi rst let us acknowledge the unrecorded ranks whose destinies were unfairly determined by their gender. Women are invisible in early sources about Glasgow, but the laws passed after the Reformation of 1560 paint a grim picture of female subordination to a misogynist theocracy. Glasgow Cross (1) was a marketplace from medieval times, but also a site of punishment. Iron head-cages with spiked mouthpieces were excavated nearby; ‘scolds’ were amongst the punished women. A pulley was built over the Clyde to duck adulterers. Witches were likely held, interrogated and tried at the old Tolbooth here, and prostitutes were carted WOMEN’S across town, ducked, put in stocks and then banished to drums and chants.

  • The Women of Red Clydeside the Women of Red Clydeside
    THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE: WOMEN MUNITIONS WORKERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Baillie, September 2002 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2002) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Women ofRed Clydeside: Women Munitions Workers in the West ofScotland during the First World War. AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A., M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: x,320 11 ABSTRACT During World War One, the Clydeside region became one ofthe most important centres ofwar production in Britain. It also had one ofthe most volatile male workforces, earning it the reputation 'Red' Clydeside. Previous historical accounts have focussed on the skilled workers, debating the extent to which they were red-hot revolutionaries or narrow craft conservatives. To date, there has been no study ofthe region's large, capable, hard-working female workforce. This thesis traces the experience ofthe tens ofthousands ofwomen employed in the Clydeside munitions industry, paying particular attention to the working conditions in local factories. This thesis contributes to the long-standing historiographical arguments over the nature ofRed Clydeside by offering a new view ofthe dilution crisis which stands 11t the epicentre ofthe debate. It finds more cooperation between male and female munitions workers than has previously been recognized, and suggests that class confrontation, not craft conservatism, was at the root ofthe deportation ofthe shop steward leaders in March 1916.

  • Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish Peace Campaigners Who Opposed the First World War
    Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish peace campaigners who opposed the First World War a paper from the Introduction The coming year will see many attempts to interpret the First World War as a ‘just’ war with the emphasis on the heroic sacrifice of troops in the face of an evil enemy. No-one is questioning the bravery or the sacrifice although the introduction of conscription sixteen months after the start of the war meant that many of the men who fought did not do so from choice and once in the armed forces they had to obey orders or be shot. Even many of the volunteers in the early stages of the war signed up on the assumption that it would all be over in a few months with few casualties. We want to ensure that there is an alternative – and we believe more valid – interpretation of the events of a century ago made available to the public. This was a war in which around ten million young men were killed on the battlefield in four years, about 120,000 of them were Scottish. Proportionately Scotland suffered the highest number of war dead apart from Serbia and Turkey. It was described as the ‘war to end wars’ but instead it created the conditions for the rise of Hitler and the Second World War just twenty years later as a result of the very harsh terms imposed on Germany and the determination to humiliate the losing states. It also contributed to some of the current problems in the Middle East since, as part of the war settlement, Britain and France took ownership of large parts of the Ottoman Empire and divided up the territory with no reference to the identities and interests of the people.

  • Helen Crawfurd Helen Jack, Born in the Gorbals District
    Helen Crawfurd Helen Jack, born in the Gorbals district of Glasgow in 1877, was the third child of William Jack, a Master Baker, and Heather Kyle Jack, of 61 Shore Street, Inverkip. Her father was a member of the Conservative Party and a member of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland. Helen shared her father's religious views and became a Sunday school teacher. Her siblings were William, James, John, Jean and Agnes. In 1898 Helen married Reverend Alexander Montgomerie Crawfurd, and they had one son, Alexander in 1913. His parish was in a slum area of Glasgow and she was deeply shocked by the suffering endured by the working classes. She wrote to a friend about the "appalling misery and poverty of the workers in Glasgow, physically broken down bodies, bowlegged, rickets." Helen Crawfurd also became very interested in the work of Josephine Butler, particularly The Education and Employment of Women. She became convinced that the situation would only change when women had the vote and in 1900 she joined the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), claiming that "if the Mothers of the race had some say, then things would be changed". She held regular meetings in her Glasgow house and took part in protest meetings but she became increasingly frustrated by the lack success of the movement. By 1905 the media had lost interest in the struggle for women's rights. Newspapers rarely reported meetings and usually refused to publish articles and letters written by supporters of women's suffrage. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) decided to use different methods to obtain the publicity they thought would be needed in order to obtain the vote.

  • Thriving Places Lay Report
    Lay Report A sense of belonging at Thriving Places: Participant experiences of belonging at the Barrowfield Ball in Glasgow Linda Butterfield (University of Glasgow) in collaboration with Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie Thriving Place. Introduction This report provides a summary of a 2017 study conducted as part of a Masters degree in Equality and Human Rights at the University of Glasgow. The study was conducted in collaboration with Thriving Places, a ten-year community programme aiming to improve outcomes for those living in areas of persistent multiple deprivation. The programme, delivered by Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, operates in nine areas of the city. The focus for this study was The Barrowfield Ball initiated by the Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie branch of Thriving Places in 2014. The Barrowfield Ball takes place weekly. It is free to attend and involves a few rounds of Bingo, followed by dancing and refreshments. Since it started, the ball has attracted more and more people and now over 70 people attend regularly coming from different parts of the city. I wanted to understand why this ball is so popular and whether or not attendees feel a sense of belonging at the event. In doing so, I hoped to discover how that sense of belonging happens as well as the impact it might have on the lives of those who attend. Belonging means different things to different people and I wanted to learn about this using the following five research objectives: 1. How is the concept of belonging understood by older attendees at the tea dance? 2. In what ways is belonging established and maintained at the ball? 3.

My original contribution to knowledge is twofold. First, this thesis shows the significant ways that gendered representations of anti-war women and men responded to one another, creating a shifting depiction of the anti-war movement as a whole. The gendering of male and female resisters drew on, reinforced, and contested both pre-war and wartime conceptions of gender in a variety of ways and this thesis demonstrates how the construction of gender and resistance has implications for understanding the relationship between gender and war more broadly. The second original contribution to knowledge that this study makes is the connection between the depiction of masculinity and femininity during the conflict and the way that anti-war men and women have been included in commemorative narratives.
