Single mum by choice, suffragette & doctor, Grace Cadell adopted several children (girls & boys) & left them equal shares in her will. Grace looked after suffragettes post hunger strike. She once paid a fine in pennies just to annoy the baillifs. /2
Born illegitimately in Oban (her father was rumoured to be a Whig MP) Rose Blaze de Bury moved to Paris, where she hosted a salon, wrote several novel, drafted an economic plan for Austria & helped set up a bank. She corresponded widely with Bismark. A jawdropping, top lass. /3

Marion Adams-Acton a kids writer known as Jeanie Hering. Illegitimate, she was adopted & ended up a leading light in high society fundraising alongside Catherine Gladstone.Independent minded one summer she walked from London to Arran with her children. Great kid, great mum. /5
Illegitimate, Georgiana McCrae was a brilliant portraitist who 1st showed at the Royal Soc aged only 12. In the 1820s she won 2 major art prizes. Eventually emigrated to Australia, where she struggled cos she wasn& #39;t financially recognised in her father& #39;s will. Bastard. /6
For most unmarried women tho getting pregnant was destructive. In my book I put up a monument called the Lone Lass - the figure of a woman tottering on a cliff edge, testament to the stigma endured cos of the thoughtless attitude personified by the comments of our PM yesterday /7
Single parents are a huge resource and deserve our respect and far better manners from our politicians than Mr Johnson displayed. Stigmatising & #39;illegitimate& #39; kids is low. There are NO & #39;illegitimate& #39; kids. Lastly, here& #39;s a lovely poem by Helen Cruickshank about a single mum. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">

Oh yes, and you can pick up my book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-are-Women-Imagined-Scotland/dp/1849172730/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=where+are+the+women+by+sara+sheridan&qid=1575016626&sr=8-1">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-are... which includes 1200 stories of amazing women, pretty much all of them with more grit, achievement & wonder than Mr Johnson will put in, in his entire puff. And that& #39;s all I& #39;m going to say about that.
