Hackney Gazette Reviews Ray Barron-Woolford’s The Last Queen of
Hackney Gazette published an article featuring Ray Barron-Woolford’s The Last Queen of Scotland. The article highly appreciates the book and featured the interview with the author. It uncovers the author’s journey on how he set out on a mission to revive the struggles and accomplishments of Kath Duncan. It confers on how he became so fascinated with the civil rights campaigner who fought for social justice, that he decided to write a book about her life.
The Last Queen of Scotland is an astounding book that unearths the story of a civil rights activist in the UK in the past 100 years, Kath Duncan. She was a teacher and an activist turned into a leader. She was one of the first women to stand as a Parliamentary candidate. She was jailed twice and is responsible for the first House of Commons Civil Rights debate and the establishment of The National Council Civil Liberties, which is known as Liberty today.
Ray Barron-Woolford is an author, broadcaster, playwright and a community activist. His latest play is called Liberty, which is about Kath Duncan’s role in establishing the LGBTQ and civil rights, and in establishing the National Council of Civil Liberties in 1930s Britain.
