13th June 1872 saw the birth in Edinburgh of Jessie “Chrystal” Macmillan.

Chrystal the only daughter of nine children, had a lifetime of firsts, one of the first women to be admitted to a university course in Scotland, the first to graduate from Edinburgh in science, which she did with first class honours in mathematics and natural philosophy, she was also the first woman to plead a case before the House of Lords, presenting her case that female university graduates should be given the right to vote.

Chrystal MacMillan was also one of the founders of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Chrystal was a prominent voice in the women’s rights movement throughout her life, campaigning on a range of issues. She was a close associate of Millicent Fawcett, and was secretary of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance between 1913 and 1920. As she was studying for the bar, she co-founded the Open Door Council for the repeal of legal restraints on women. Macmillan worked to lift restrictions and so give women of all stations an equal opportunity in the workplace.

As an increasingly well known figure and a key member of the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance, MacMillan used her status and influence to highlight the sufferings experienced by women and men in war.

She was one of the organisers of the International Congress of Women in The Hague in 1915, and was a member of the delegation from that Congress to present proposals to heads of neutral states for halting World War I.

Following the Armistice she was a delegate at the Paris Peace Conference, which was held in 1919.

She is also remembered by the School of Social and Political Science at the University, whose building in George Square was named in honour of Chrystal’s dedication to peace and women’s rights, and as a symbol of the School’s interests in gender, international politics and human rights.

Ups And Downs, Ebbs And Flows . . .

Here's this week's new post: Ups And Downs, Ebbs And Flows - the pros and cons of a few jobs #writer #WritingCommunity

Sunday 18 June 2023 I’ve mentioned before when I work full-time my creativity goes bye-bye. It recedes somewhere into the back of my mind, occasionally peeking out from behind work brain. Okay, let me be honest, it’s not that creative brain voluntarily goes there; it’s that work brain is loud and obnoxious and takes over everything, so poor creative brain must run and hide lest she gets squashed…
