This reader contains a mixture of new narratives on suffrage,
together with reinterpretations of some long-established "truths"
about the campaign by British women for the vote. Some chapters
shift the focus from "the great and the good" based in London, and
explore the issues which motivated supporters in other parts of
Britain. Other chapters illuminate the lengths some men were
prepared to go to see women become voters - and the lengths others
were prepared to go to stop them. A variety of topics is covered by
the contributors, who include both established scholars and writers
relatively new to the field "A Suffrage Reader" provides an
opportunity to push back the boundaries of suffrage history,
enabling us to think again about the diverse and sometimes
contraditory motives for, and outcomes of, involvement in the long
campaign by women for the vote in Britain. The book also makes it
possible to pause and reflect upon recent developments in writing
on suffrage history, and the extent to which this has been bound up
with developing attitudes towards politics in the latter decades of
the 20th century.
