Introduction
This lesson guide is about women's lives from around 1910 up to the 1980s.
You will learn about women's lives in Scotland in the twentieth century. You may like to reflect on your own family situation, the lives of women you know and admire, as well as stories passed down generations. The learning materials have been chosen to help you broaden your understanding of how society is shaped by patriarchy and how women, in different roles, have been represented on screen.
