Queen Victoria is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad wicked folly of woman's rights, with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor sex is bent'

It was a bloody and dangerous war lasting several decades, won finally by sheer will and determination in 1928. Drawing on extracts from diaries, newspapaers, letters, journals and books, Joyce Marlow has pieced together this inspiring, poignant and exciting history using the voices of the woman themselves.

Some of the people and events are well known, but Marlow has gone beyond the obvious to show us the ordinary women who had the courage to stand up and be counted- or just as likely hectored or pelted with eggs. These women knew the power of humour and surprise and exhibited extraordinary passion and bravery.

'A cleverly assembled patchwork of press cuttings, diary entries and journal extract comes together here to make up a colorful and moving narrative of the woman's suffrage movement'
