Jean Cameron
Jean Cameron (b. 1921/22 – ), was a World War II Scottish rural postwoman who, at the age of 19, successfully challenged and changed the dress-code for postwomen to permit the wearing of trousers. The uniform trousers were known as 'Camerons' in her honour. Films were made on her successful action in 1944 and 2021. She is named in the Royal Mail 500 years archive (2017), and in the Kirriemuir town (2021) community art project, Signs of Change.
