Esperanto in Scotland, Chapter 6, Exercise 1 Sample answer. Three facts against the claim: 1. Four of the six Edinburgh delegate councillors chosen in 1911 were women. 2. 65 Scottish women travelled to the 1911 Antwerp congress. 3. Lois Beveridge held an advanced diploma, taught and examined, and in 1913 was one of the Federation's four vice-presidents. (Also: Hare's play, Baird's dictionary.) One limit: these show that women took part and led some work, not that men and women had equal power. Lois was the only woman among the vice-presidents, and the records mark women with "Miss", which suggests they were still seen as notable.
