![]() Reading all those original sources was definitely a highlight for me, easily making this one of my fave feminist books. I totally recommend this book for anyone who's interested about knowing more about the suffrage movement in Britain, especially because of the fresh and informative view that comes with an anthology with so many original, unedited and unquoted source material. ![]() The added notes and appendices by author Joyce Marlow are a plus for this great anthology, organizing all sources in a clear and entertaining way, with dates, names, places and events being easily put into context. The book also shows the contrasting views of the Antis, not at all dissimilar from our modern MRAs, sexist dudebros and complicit anti-feminist women (no surprises there, we haven't come *that* far). It's organized in a way that I found really engaging and informative, showing the voices of many different women (male suffragists and allies also make an appearance) with different backgrounds and classes, motivations and mindsets. An anthology which compiles and draws on actual material from the times, it includes excerpts from letters, journals, newspapers, diaries and official documents, as well as sometimes also quoting from other books written about the events. ![]() This is a really well-organized and researched book about women's suffrage in Britain from the Victorian times to 1928, when women were finally enfranchised. ![]()
