The suffragette movement shattered the domestic tranquillity of
Edwardian England. This book is an original and searching study of
the formidable organization which led this campaign: the Women s
Social and Political Union.
With the use of previously unpublished correspondence of Mrs
Emmeline Pankhurst, her colleagues and such political leaders as
Asquith, Balfour and Lloyd George, the author views the development
of ever more extreme and violent forms of militancy not as a series
of amusing exploits and incidents but as the carefully calculated
political strategy the suffragettes intended it to be. He examines
the reasons for the remarkable effectiveness of militant tactics in
making women s enfranchisement a political issue of central
importance, and shows why militancy failed to secure this right
prior to the outbreak of war in August 1914. He assesses, too, the
influence of the vast social and political changes wrought by the
war on the ultimate success of the campaign in 1918.
