Synopsis

“As a river cannot rise above the level of its source, so a nation cannot rise above the status of its women” Emmeline Pankhurst The Suffragette Timeline gives an introduction to the sixty-year campaign for women’s suffrage in Great Britain as it unfolded. Told via 250 historical events, this history gives a blow-by-blow account of how the struggle for justice was fought through numerous individual acts of personal bravery. This story covers; - The attempts in Parliament of a small group of progressives to widen the franchise - Emmeline Pankhurst’s numerous arrests, imprisonments and hunger strikes, and her selfless (but sometimes autocratic) leadership of the Women’s Social And Political Union - How the betrayal of women by Herbert Asquith’s Liberal Government forced the Suffragettes to increase their campaign of militancy and direct action - The brutal treatment of Suffragette prisoners with force-feeding - Fascinating stories and anecdotes of the many unknown women who gave so much This Timeline will act as a perfect primer for anybody who wants to know more about the ‘Votes For Women’ movement. It includes an extensive giude for further reading.
