A first-hand history by an activist chronicles the militant women's suffrage movement from its early organizing through mass demonstrations, tactical innovations, and confrontations with authorities. It recounts arrests, courtroom episodes in which campaigners pressed government officials, prison internments, hunger strikes and forcible feeding, and methods used to publicize demands, while describing internal organization, discipline, and the solidarity that sustained participants. The narrative emphasizes motives, practical steps of agitation and protest, public responses, and the moral and strategic debates that shaped the campaign's development.
