Rachael Hamilton MSP has written a piece for a new book on women's rights in Scotland which also features a chapter from Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
The book, which has just been published, is called ‘The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht: Voices from the Front-Line of Scotland's Battle for Women's Rights.'
It documents how a group of women fought against the SNP Government’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which was passed by the Scottish Parliament and blocked by the UK Government.
The blurb on the book's website says: "On the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament, this book captures an important moment in contemporary history: how a grassroots women's movement, harking back to the suffragettes and second wave feminists of the 1970s and 1980s, took on the political establishment - and changed the course of history."
Scottish Borders MSP, Rachael Hamilton, said: "It was an honour and a privilege to write in this book alongside so many inspirational women.
"I am proud of the small part I've played in standing up for women's rights in Scotland when they were under threat in recent years.
"It was amazing to be part of the grassroots women's movement that arose after Nicola Sturgeon pushed through the SNP's Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which was a threat to women's rights and safety in Scotland and across the UK."
