As the workers flooded into Glasgow to aid in the war effort, rent prices soared. Govan's women-folk refused to pay the increases. When sheriff's officers responded they were met by the terrifying sight of a horde of angry women armed with flour-bags, whitewash and mops. This piece is the second in Cran's Govan Trilogy.
