Internati onal Women’s Day has evolved over the last century from a general ‘women’s rights’ commemoration to the modern day themed celebration of women’s achievements in various global and localised contexts. Here in Scotland we have been blessed with many women who have achieved great things over the years – Mary Slessor, Mary Ann Baxter, Jane Haining and Winnie Ewing are just four names that spring readily to mind.
