From Votes for Women to voting for a woman, with Dr Paul Philippou of Dundee University, we look at the woman who was elected Scotland鈥檚 first female MP - Katharine Marjory Stewart-Murray, Duchess of Atholl. She had actually campaigned vociferously against women's rights, but that didn鈥檛 stop her becoming an early female cabinet minister and highly controversial anti-fascist politician. From politics in the 1920s to the medical world of the 1820s and the 鈥榙octor鈥� who drew babies, John Sheriff nicknamed 鈥楧r Syntax鈥�, delivered the infants of the poorest mothers in Edinburgh hospitals and then drew the newborns, but his notebook also covers mothers who murdered, what was he really interested in? Dr James Kennaway of Roehampton University and Dr Katie Barclay of the University of Adelaide take us into his world. Morag Allan Campbell of St Andrews University tells us about how the later prison system treated mothers who killed their babies while of unsound mind, and Dr Bill Knox takes us back to 1918 and the imprisonment of revolutionary socialist John Maclean.
