Mary Barbour was a #workingclass political #activist who led the #Govan #RentStrikes in 1915. One of her compatriots, Helen Crawfurd, described her as ‘the leading woman in Govan’ during the these strikes.
Mary dedicated her life to improving the lives of working people.

The spirit of #marybarbour lives on! Over 100 years since Mary led the #rentstrikes in #govan and won concessions from landlords this steely wee quine says the struggle for #tenantsrights continues. I agree 🙂 What say you Shelter Scotland on this bright Thursday morning? 😀✊
