4. Margaret Swanson (born 1872)

Join us as we unweave the beautiful tapestry of Margaret's story - the daughter of a cobbler who became a seminal artist, associate of Rennie Mackintosh, who empowered women through the "Margaret Swanson System of Educational Needlework". Teaching far and wide, Margaret broke the mould by inspiring and championing women's independent creativity. Pauline talks to Muriel Murray who discovered the story of Margaret Swanson.
