About This Book

The author records personal recollections of the campaign for women's parliamentary enfranchisement, tracing parliamentary deputations and bills, grassroots organizing and fundraising, public demonstrations and pilgrimages, and the tactical debates within the movement; she describes the impact of the Great War on women's public service and on shifting public opinion, the eventual legislative success that placed many women on the electoral register, and concludes with reflections on how the vote altered women's public responsibilities and social standing.
