Researcher, Alan Cumming will speak about and show a film covering the development of the Scottish Women’s Hospitals during the Great War, including the role of women from the Highlands in this movement. Set up with two very specific aims: to help the war effort by providing medical assistance and to promote the cause of women’s rights, the network established hospitals in the field, close to the major conflicts in France, Macedonia, Greece, Corsica, Romania, Russia and Serbia.
