How one woman's Mitchell Library rooftop protest is being commemorated in Glasgow

An incredible effort😍

American writer Rebecca Otto commissioned Glasgow modelmaker Franki Finch of Finch and Fouracre to make a series of models of St Andrew’s Halls and the neighbouring Mitchell Library as it looked inside its construction site by mid-1909, to help visualise Alice’s movements on the night.

Rebecca asked Franki to make a second replica model, which has been accepted into Glasgow Museums Collections. “The archives are full of enthralling items about things that happened right here in the city, like Alice’s valiant exploits. It’s amazing she didn’t fall. “The world knows Alice's serious side: too often jailed, hunger striking or force-fed, founder of the National Woman’s Party and World Woman’s Party, who helped win women’s voting rights, wrote the US Equal Rights Amendment, and challenged the United Nations to foster equality for all.
