Title

The Suffragette. The History of the Women's Militant Suffrage Movement 1905-1910. Preface by Mrs. Pankhurst.

Description

Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903. The British suffrage movement had "officially" started in 1865 in Manchester. The actions of the WSPU brought the suffrage movement into the public forum. Window smashings, arrests, hunger strikes, forced feedings were in the news daily. In this work, Sylvia writes the history of the movement (and her family's role in it) up until 1910.
