Scotland's first woman provost : Mrs Malcolm, Dollar

The Young Woman magazine1914
Books, Manuscripts
This item is an article, extracted from a magazine called 'Young Woman', about Lavinia Malcolm, who became the first female municipal councillor in Scotland in 1907, and then the first female Provost in Scotland in 1913 - before women were eligible to vote. The article outlines Mrs Malcolm's service, including on the School Board, and quotes her as saying 'There is no work on a town council or other board in which a woman cannot take her part, and it will be to the advantage of men and women to work together for the common good of all'.
