THE NEW BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF SCOTTISH WOMEN
This dictionary is dedicated to the memory of our co-editor and friend Sue Innes (1948–2005), who gave to it all the enthusiasm, dedication and flair she brought to everything in her life, and who was still working on it, and inspiring others, to the very end. As an epigraph for the Dictionary, Sue chose these lines by Mary Brooksbank: Politicians and rulers Are richly rewarded, But in one woman’s life Is our history recorded.
