At factory gates and cottage doors, co-operative guilds and trade
union branches, the radical suffragists of turn-of-the-century
Britain took their message to women at the grassroots level in
order to advance demands for equal pay, educational opportunities,
better birth control, child allowances, and the right to work.
Their strength lay in their democratic approach: opposed to
violence, they felt that the vote was the key to wider rights for
women.
One Hand Tied Behind Us draws from a wealth of unpublished
material, local newspaper accounts. diaries, handwritten minute
books, forgotten biographies, and interviews. It creates a vivid
and moving portrait of the women who, almost 100 years ago,
envisaged freedoms that are not secure even today. Widely
acclaimed, it has become a suffrage classic, and to mark its
twenty-first anniversary, Rivers Oram presents this revised edition
with a new introduction by Jill Liddington.
