She went to Peterhead Academy and to Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen,[2] which she gave up in the late 1960s, travelling to San Francisco to join the hippy movement.[1]
She became an activist in the second-wave feminist movement as she started studying English and philosophy[2] at the University of St. Andrews in 1970.[1] She was editor of the university newspaper Aien.[1][3] In St. Andrews she met Jo Clifford, Scottish playwright and her lifelong partner.[1][3] Sue Innes and Clifford had two daughters[1] in 1980 and 1985.[3]
Career[edit]
After her graduation, Sue Innes worked as a journalist to BBC Radio, The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday.[1]
She returned to Academia in 1993 and graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1998 with a PhD in the areas of politics, history and sociology.[1]
