About
Jump to
Isabella Low Skea (16 January 1845 to 7 October 1914) was a Scottish campaigner for women's rights from Aberdeen who became the first female headteacher of a large mixed-sex board school when few female headships were achieved. Her rise to prominence from a humble background has led to her being described as "the lass o' pairts" as a female counterpoint to the notion of "the lad of pairts" prevalent in Scottish educational philosophy of the time.
