This work provides a re-examination of the suffrage movement, presenting perspectives which challenge the existing literature on this subject. It charts the history of the movement in Britain from the 19th century to the postwar period, assessing important figures such as: Emmeline Pankhurst and the militant wing; Millicent Garrett Fawcett, leader of the constitutional wing; and Jennie Baines and her link with the international suffrage movements.
