The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht: Voices from the front-line of Scotland's battle for women's rights is a 2024 book of gender-critical essays, edited by Susan Dalgety, a columnist for The Scotsman, and Lucy Hunter Blackburn, author and former Scottish Government civil servant.[1][2] The book was published on 30 May by Constable, an imprint of the Little, Brown Book Group.[1]

In a tweet about the book, J. K. Rowling explained to non-Scots that the meaning of the word 'wheesht' is to "'be quiet’ or ‘hush up’, but I suspect you could have worked that out from the context".[1]
