Now in protective wrap. The stirring history of the Militant Suffragettes of Great Britain: the voices, the faces, the deeds, the memories, the personal testimony of the remarkable women who fought - and won - the battle for the vote. [In 1918, seventeen years from the founding of the W.S.P.U., women over 30 who were property owners, won the right to vote in Great Britain. Women achieved full equality regarding suffrage in 1928. However it wasn't much better in America, where women won the right to vote, only after the 19th amendment was ratified in 1920.] "Who were these women? What did they really do - and what was done to them - in their passionate struggle against the government? Midge Mackenzie has spent seven years searching out the truth. She has amassed a wealth of written and visual evidence that had lain buried and forgotten for decades. In this book of extraordinary documentary richness which expands and deepens the screen dramatization of the television series Shoulder to Shoulder, Mackenzie sets all these voices free again, brought back to life for us to re-discover in all of its original and shocking impact. [The picture of a woman being force fed is indelible.] $20.00USD
