A SUFFRAGETTE who championed the disadvantaged, women’s rights and the unemployed, whilst also campaigning for education for the poor, is the inspiration behind the name of Social Security Scotland’s new head office in Dundee. Agnes Husband House has been selected as the title of the soon-to-open building at the city’s waterfront after nominations were invited from across the organisation and an external panel. Before shortlisting suggestions, guidance and advice was taken from local historians, such as Mary Henderson, the author of Dundee Women’s Trail. Cabinet Secretary for Social Security Shirley-Anne Somerville announced the former city councillor’s name as the preferred choice from nominations, which contained a range of notable people from history, names relating to Dundee and Social Security Scotland’s values.
