1 Pacifist, feminist and suffragette, Springburn-born Agnes Dollan (nee Moir) went to jail for campaigning for fairer rents for Glasgow families during the First World War and helped secure the vote for British women. She was also the first female to stand for election with the city council. 2 Agnes Moir was one of the eleven children of Henry Moir, a blacksmith, and his wife, Annie Wilkinson. She left school at the age of 11, working briefly in a factory before becoming a telephone operator at the Post Office. It was here, spurred on by discrimination suffered by her colleagues, that she helped set up a trade union for female workers and campaigned for an organisation that was fighting to secure the vote for women.
