Succulent braised venison… This Scottish venison recipe, by well-known TV chef Nick Nairn, really does benefit from long, slow cooking, and develops a beautifully earthy sweetness - try it as an al ternative to turkey, or for Hogmanay. It serves 8 and can be easily doubled. Preparation time is 15 mins and cooking time 1 hr 50 mins or until tender. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. 1. Fry the vegetables in a little oil and butter in a heavy-based casserole for 4-5 mins until golden. Ingredients 2. Tip in the garlic and fry for a further min, then 2 carrots, roughly chopped set aside. 3. Put the venison into a plastic bag with seasoned 140g turnips or swede, roughly chopped flour and shake to coat. 4. Add a little more oil and butter to the pan, then 2 onions, roughly chopped fry the venison over a high heat, stirring now and 3 celery sticks, roughly chopped then, until well browned. 5. Don't crowd the pan - cook in batches if olive oil and butter, for frying necessary. Set aside with the vegetables. 6. Add the redcurrant jelly and wine to the pan, 1 garlic clove, crushed and bring to the boil, scraping up all the bits that 1kg boned leg/shoulder of venison, cut into chunks have stuck to the bottom. 7. Pour in the stock, and then add the thyme, bay 5 tbsp plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper leaf, meat and vegetables. 8. Season if you like and bring to the boil. 2 tbsp redcurrant jelly (or rowan or hawthorn jelly) 9.

Serve with mash or a jacket potato 2 thyme sprigs and 1 bay leaf Update on Grazing…from Caroline FitzGerald The spring deluge continued all summer, as you all know. From our point of view, this at least got us out of having to haul water. But, it also meant that there is a huge gr owth of grass this year making the efforts of the animals inadequate to the sea of molinia. Our cattle trial has gone really well, with our six borrowed Highlands having a lovely summer wading in the stream and trashing birch trees. They are really wel l designed to utilize the course vegetation and seem to thrive on it. You can still see them until the end of September if you go to Townings car park and walk down the hill. Our Sunday checker, Karina, is moving house so we are looking for somebody who is interested in looking after the sheep at the weekends. Please get in touch with the Office if you would like to get involved. You will need to make a regular commitment of time on a Sunday, training will be given. We are also interested in anyone up and around the Forest who may have vacant farm buildings that we could use.

SYLVIA PANKHURST AND THE FIGHT AGAINST WAR AND FASCISM Erika Marie Huckestein A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved By: Susan Pennybacker Emily Burrill Susan Thorne © 2014 Erika Huckestein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Erika Marie Huckestein: From Pacifist to Anti-Fascist? Sylvia Pankhurst and the Fight Against War and Fascism (Under the direction of Susan Pennybacker) Historians of women’s involvement in the interwar peace movement, and biographers of Sylvia Pankhurst have noted her seemingly contradictory positions in the face of two world wars: she vocally opposed the First World War and supported the Allies from the outbreak of the Second World War. These scholars view Pankhurst’s transition from pacifism to anti-fascism as a reversal or subordination of her earlier pacifism. This thesis argues that Pankhurst’s anti-fascist activism and support for the British war effort should not be viewed as a departure from her earlier suffrage and anti-war activism. The story of Sylvia Pankhurst’s political activism was not one of stubborn commitment to, or rejection of, a static succession of ideas, but one of an active engagement with changing politics, and confrontation with the new ideology of fascism, in a society still struggling to recover from the Great War. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................1

    MAKING COMMON CAUSE?: WESTERN AND MIDDLE EASTERN FEMINISTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MOVEMENT, 1911-1948 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charlotte E. Weber, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Leila J. Rupp, Adviser Professor Susan M. Hartmann _________________________ Adviser Professor Ellen Fleischmann Department of History ABSTRACT This dissertation exposes important junctures between feminism, imperialism, and orientalism by investigating the encounter between Western and Middle Eastern feminists in the first-wave international women’s movement. I focus primarily on the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, and to a lesser extent, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. By examining the interaction and exchanges among Western and Middle Eastern women (at conferences and through international visits, newsletters and other correspondence), as well as their representations of “East” and “West,” this study reveals the conditions of and constraints on the potential for feminist solidarity across national, cultural, and religious boundaries. In addition to challenging the notion that feminism in the Middle East was “imposed” from outside, it also complicates conventional wisdom about the failure of the first-wave international women’s movement to accommodate difference. Influenced by growing ethos of cultural internationalism

    Marie Corbett (1859 – 1932) a Brief Introduction. the Victorians Lived in a Highly Ordered Society and One of Individual Moral

    Marie Corbett (1859 – 1932) A Brief Introduction. The Victorians lived in a highly ordered society and one of individual morality. The elite were in total control of society and politics. On the horizon new values were developing and becoming apparent with the belief if they work hard enough, all men can become wealthy. However, this ideal did not reflect the lives of the lower classes. The dark shadow of the workhouse loomed over the blameless poor and the destitute. Victorian woman had few rights and little say in politics. Their place was very much in the home unless they were extremely wealthy and brave enough to break down barriers that restricted their equal freedom. One extraordinary woman did just that, using her wealthy status, her educated mind and her vision of philanthropy. Marie Corbett was a Victorian woman who wanted and fought for what she believed in. She lived her life in an era when the movement for women’s liberation was at its most prevalent 1 Marie Corbett (1859 – 1932) Early Life and Education. Marie Corbett nèe Gray was born in Kennington, South London on 30th April 1859, the eldest of three daughters to George and Eliza Gray from Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Her father was an influential and pioneering entrepreneur making his fortune co- founding Clarnico, a significant and enterprising confectionery manufacturing company. He was solely responsible for introducing Spanish fruits, Greek raisins and currants into the British market. Like so many well-to-do middle class Victorians, the young Marie Gray was privately educated at home. Four elderly women, who were strictly conventional, believing strongly in class distinctions, taught Marie.

    From Peace to Development: a Re-Constitution of British Women’s International Politics, c. 1945 – 1975 By Sophie Skelton A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History School of History and Cultures The University of Birmingham April 2014 i University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This thesis aims to make clear British women’s experiences of the international between 1945 and 1975. It analyses how international development came to feature at the centre of British women’s organisations international programme by the late 1950s. The origins of this process date back to the immediate post-war years. Inspired by a new sense of duty and internationalism, British women’s organisations embraced the new international institutions that had formed as a result of War with a newfound sense of purpose, one which allowed them to join new organisational partners. In the late 1940s, world peace was taken up by a broad spectrum of British women’s organisations as a potentially powerful means of bringing women together from diverse political, social and cultural backgrounds to co-operate on both national and international levels.

    1 Women Anti-Appeasers in the Nineteen Thirties Susan Pedersen Conference On

    Women Anti-Appeasers in the Nineteen Thirties Susan Pedersen Conference on “Women in Politics” London Guildhall University 7 July 2001 On the morning of September 20th, 1938, Blanche Dugdale – stalwart supporter of the League of Nations Union, niece and biographer of A.J. Balfour, and confidante of more than one Cabinet minister – rang Harold Nicolson to talk over the news that Neville Chamberlain’s government would ask the Czechs to concede territory to Hitler in the Sudetenland. The news, she said, had made her sick in the night; after reading the proposed terms in the morning Times, she had gone to the bathroom and thrown up again. Now, she was writing a letter of resignation from the tiny “National Labour” faction on the grounds that she could no longer belong to any political group supporting Chamberlain’s government.1 Violet Bonham-Carter – Asquith’s daughter, prominent Liberal, and a supporter of Churchill throughout the late thirties – had a similar response. On September 28th, at a meeting of the Executive of the League of Nations Union, she took the Liberal Party leader, Sir Archibald Sinclair, very publicly to task for having failed to speak up in the Commons that day against Chamberlain’s plan to meet Hitler, Daladier and Mussolini in Munich to negotiate a settlement.2 The following day, at a lunch of prominent government critics, she supported Churchill’s last-ditch (and unsuccessful) efforts to get Eden, Attlee, Sinclair and others to telegram Chamberlain in Munich opposing further concessions at the expense of the Czechs.3 Then, in the 30th (Chamberlain having settled with Hitler and 1 returned to a hero’s welcome), Dugdale joined renegade Tory Bob Boothby, Labour M.P.

Despite being a wealthy, professional woman, it was as a lower-middle class ‘housewife’ that she won the Conservative party leadership in 1975 and the general election in 1979. This raises significant historical questions. What was it about a ‘housewife’ identity that was believed to suggest the necessary qualities of a political leader? It also emphasises the centrality of gender to Thatcher’s leadership image.

There was support of governments for eliminating the violence against women and girls, and progress was made on several issues, but there were also signs of big problems in the near future. Like the withdrawal of the resolution on 'Protection of the Family' in the Human Rights Council, with 72 countries supporting non-agreed text. Hélène Sackstein tells us the whole story. Also, news on the 2015 Development Goals; a UN warning about drug-resistant tuberculosis; how to prevent dating violence in schools; the implementation of laws for poor children working in India's mines; a brutal killing of a social worker and other aid workers in Pakistan; a video of women from 70 communities in seven countries across Africa on access to justice. And immediate action you can take is to sign against flogging rape victims in the Maldives! As well, news from IAW Affiliates in Pakistan, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE OF WOMEN IAW Secretary General Lene Pind writes: Dear members, I take it that we are all relieved to see that agreed conclusions were achieved.
