Gude Cause
By Jess McCabe | 11 October 2009, 21:38
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.
You can see some great photos over on Fiona Skillen’s Flickr Stream (I’m using her photo above, with permission), also on sufragista2009’s Flickr stream. Hopefully we’ll have a write-up of the day for you soon!

Feminist Avatar has a report on this on her blog
http://letterbyafeminist.blogspot.com/2009/10/gude-cause.html
and points out, that it wasn't just a historical reenactment, as reported, but an activist event.
