Scottish Federation of Women's Suffrage Societies is a Scottish organisation for women's suffrage.[1] It was established in 1910 as an affiliate of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in London for the constitutional suffrage campaign in Scotland.[1] Those activists largely following peaceful methods were nicknamed as Suffragists.[2]
The Federation supported the establishment of the Scottish Women's Hospitals proposed by Elsie Maude Inglis.[3]
