Introduced by Helen Knowles. J.J. Gallagher and B.A. Koellhoffer portray women in marches and throwing bricks on its cover. The story is told from an English immigrant viewpoint, where he was attacked in Hyde Park by suffragists who thought he was a member of Parliament. He describes them as wearing “Men’s collars and shirt fronts,” looking to obtain men’s votes, notes, and trousers, painting the stereotype that suffragettes really want to be men.

Mary Wollstonecraft [Godwin] was a British teacher and writer. Her path-breaking feminist manifesto argued for the spiritual and rational equality of women and was extremely influential in years to come, on both sides of the Atlantic. She argued that the rights of man and of woman were one and the same thing. Though her demand for "justice for one-half of the human race" was revolutionary for her time, she found a following among radicals and educated women as the nineteenth century progressed, and succeeded in initiating a new regard for women as a social force. Tragically, after Wollstonecraft met and married William Godwin (1756-1836) , she died giving birth to their daughter Mary, future author of the novel Frankenstein.
