@article { , title = {Caroline Phillips: balancing life as a journalist and a suffragette in a Scottish city.}, abstract = {© 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor \& Francis Group. Aberdeen Art Gallery holds a unique collection in the history of the Scottish women’s suffrage movement: the correspondence of Caroline Phillips, journalist and honorary secretary of the Aberdeen branch of the WSPU, 1907-09. Through her correspondence, Phillips wrestled with the demands of London headquarters for more militant action, was tempted to join the Women’s Freedom League, and finally saw herself and her friend Helen Fraser replaced by the Pankhursts. Because of her involvement in the suffrage movement, Phillips found it difficult to gain entrance to some political events in the city, making it impossible to complete her work as a reporter, and was threatened with dismissal by her employer. She was also torn between the demands for militant action of the WSPU leadership and her own instinct for a more conciliatory approach. Her correspondence reveals the emotional and personal costs of working for ‘the cause’ in a city far away from the heart of the suffrage movement, but also the fulfilling friendships that sustained and supported her.}, doi = {10.1080/09612025.2020.1745401}, eissn = {1747-583X}, issn = {0961-2025}, issue = {6}, journal = {Women's history review}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Now published, checked and updated 22/9/2020 LM, info via Jisc 13/4/2020 LM, Notification of acceptance from contact 18/3/2020 LM) PERMISSION GRANTED (version=AAM; embargo=18 months; licence=BY-NC; SHERPA = http://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/6291 ) DOCUMENT READY (AAM rec'd from contact 18/3/2020 LM) ADDITIONAL INFO - Contact: Sarah Pedersen}, pages = {940-954}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis (Routledge)}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/881378}, volume = {29}, keyword = {Aberdeen, Suffragette, WSPU, Pankhurst, WFL}, year = {2020}, author = {Pedersen, Sarah} }
