Constance Maud was at the heart of the British campaign for women's
votes. Her novel No Surrender was published at the height of that
struggle and used as a persuasive tool by suffragists. Hailed by
Emily WildingDavison as "a book which breathes the very spirit of
our Women's Movement", the fastpaced story interweaves the lives of
women from all classes working together to bring about change. Our
hero Jenny is a small but fierce Lancashire textile mill worker who
puts principle before everything. No Surrender is sometimes funny,
sometimes violent, but always exciting and authentic. It is highly
regarded as an important document of the arguments for and against
extending votes to women, for its witty storytelling and for an
unflinching depiction of the rapid escalation of violence
encountered by the women involved. In this faithful graphic
adaptation, creators Scarlett and Sophie Rickard craft a compelling
fiction that paints a comprehensive picture of social, political,
economic and cultural life in early 20thcentury Britain that is
still acutely relevant today. The graphic format is the embodiment
of the suffrage rallycry of "Deeds not Words" and this book is the
perfect sistervolume to their stunning adaptation of the socialist
classic The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
