The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht is a compelling collection of over thirty essays and photographs documenting a pivotal grassroots women’s movement in Scotland. The book captures how women, inspired by the suffragettes and second-wave feminists, campaigned over five years to protect women’s sex-based rights amid rising gender identity debates and political challenges.

The title refers to the Scots word "wheesht," meaning "be quiet" or "hush up," symbolizing the refusal of these women to be silenced despite facing significant opposition, including threats to their careers, reputations, and personal relationships.
