Talk:Mary Barbour

message: Barbour was elected to Glasgow Town Council in 1920. One other woman was elected as a Labour councillor at the same time, and three others as Moderates.
Agnes Dollan had stood for election in 1919, but failed to win the seat. This made her the first woman to be a Labour candidate in Glasgow.
Patrick Dollan wrote, in 1923, in a book called History of Kinning Park Cooperative Society Limited that Barbour had been "the first Co-operative woman elected to the council" and "the first Labour woman to be elected to Glasgow Town Council" (on p147 of that book). This is cited by Dr Catriona Burness in her book, Remember Mary Barbour (as noted in the article) as the origin of the misconception that Barbour was the first woman to be a Labour councillor in Glasgow.

replies: text: Thank you for the clarification, I didn't look very closely into it, just saw a link to Patrick about a statement which seemed to relate to a female, saw Agnes had an article which was only a few years old so thought it was possibly an older link to her through his article, or just the wrong Dollan. The truth is a bit more complex, as you have outlined. Apologies if it was a bit of a waste of your time to sort. Crowsus (talk) 18:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
