From BBC 8-3-18: A statue of Mary Barbour, who was a campaigner in Glasgow during the 1915 Rent Strikes, has been unveiled in Govan to coincide with International Women's Day.
ReplyDeleteShe fought against landlords raising rents during the war and led a resistance group called Barbour's Army.
Local people in the Govan area had campaigned for years to have the commemorative statue erected. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-43338204/statue-of-rent-strikes-campaigner-mary-barbour-unveiled
