Gude Cause

Yesterday was a major day for feminists; as well as the conference which some of us F-Worders attended, women took to the streets of Edinburgh for the Gude Cause - a re-enactment of a key procession in the story of the Scottish suffrage movement. Organisers estimate that the march was 4,500-5,000 strong.
