Aberdeen Art Gallery holds a collection of correspondence and papers that belonged to a woman journalist called Caroline Phillips. Most of the correspondence dates from between 1907 and 1909 and deals with the organisation of the Aberdeen branch of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), otherwise known as the Suffragettes. In this book the author uses this material, known as the Watt Collection, to tell the story of the Suffragettes in Aberdeen and beyond.
