Suffragettes e-bog

A lively history of the long, fierce battle for women’s rights in Britain, with archival images and documents.   1918 was a watershed moment for the development of British democracy: for the first time, some women could vote. The occasion marked the culmination of an arduous fifty-year long struggle of thousands of women and men up and down the country.   Using unique documents and images held at The National Archives, this book delves into the world of suffrage and traces the journey of these thousands of individuals fighting to achieve women’s rights in a man’s world—and how they were ultimately able to emerge largely victorious.
