The Suffragettes in Pictures

This title draws on the Suffragette Fellowship Collection of archive photographs, newspapers and personal correspondence to chart the rise of the Suffragette campaign and the eventual granting of the vote.

This title draws on the little-known Suffragette Fellowship Collectionn of archive photographs, newspapers, personal correspondence, artefacts and memoirs, to present a vivid picture of Suffragette life. The book has rare images of the Suffragette campaign leading up to the outbreak of the World War I. The book also documents leading personalities in the movement, such as Emmeline Parkhurst, Annie Kenney and Emily Wilding Davison, the behind-the-scene activities at the Woman's Social and Political Union, their public propaganda, the brilliant set piece demonstrations and the escalation of militancy from "pestering the politicians" to burning down buildings and attacking works of art. The granting of the vote in 1918 and 1928 is also discussed.
