We are delighted to partner with the fantastic creative project and social enterprise Protests & Suffragettes and bring their great range of Scottish female activist inspired totes, zines, and signature suffragette card game to our gift shop. 🥳

Dunoon is closely tied with the early twentieth century move for women’s voting rights in Scotland, once home to suffragette sisters Arabella and Muriel Scott, as well as Glaswegian rent striker, communist, and suffragette Helen Crawfurd. The zine features Helen herself, Arabella is represented in the card game, and their contemporary Teresa Billington-Greig on the tote bags- “REBEL is written in capital letters all over her.” 👊

Thanks again to P&S for the opportunity to represent these fantastic women in our gift shop through their feminist merchandise. ☺️
