Born in 1960, Francine Scott’s journey has been far-reaching and wide-ranging. Her Glasgow upbringing has prepared her well for a life of passion and a career that has embraced roles within military service, conservation, fashion and business. It is her writing and content provision to the rag trade and e-commerce for which she might otherwise be known. Francine’s transformative occurrences with the Woman First Institute (womanfirstinstitute.org) have led to her appointment as writer-in-residence. Now a matter of experience, the vivid accuracy of her work, like the characters of her story, is awkwardly close to real events. In getting to the truth, she has sought to shelter the anonymity of some very genuine identities. In a life, devoted to the events she recounts, Francine lives in a remote, country cottage where, to say she is lucky in love would be putting it mildly. It is from this divine Shangri-La where she is currently at work, putting together the second volume of the Woman First Chronicles.
