Anotácia knihy

This book looks at the major events, themes and problems of the suffrage movement from its beginnings to its conclusion. In 1928, the first year when women in Britain could vote on the same terms as men, longtime suffrage leader Millicent Garrett Fawcett was in her eighties; when the British women's suffrage movement began, she had been too young to sign the Ladies' Petition, a plea to Parliament to enfranchise women. For the next six decades, she and thousands of others experienced repeated defeats of women's suffrage bills and amendments, anti-suffragism from men and women alike, the militant movement with its violence, imprisonments, hunger strikes and forcible-feeding, and multiple internal divisions occasioned by conflicts over party loyalties, strategies and World War I, only to end up with the partial victory of 1918. Women such as Millicent Garrett Fawcett devoted their lives to the cause, not merely because the vote was their right, but because they wanted to change the world and saw in the vote the power to do so.
