First published in 1981, this book traces the history of the
National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) from
1897-1914. Whereas most historians have focused on the more
militant aspect of the struggle for female enfranchisement,
embodied by the Women's Political and Social Union (WPSU), this
work provides an essential overview of the often dismissed
non-violent and constitutional NUWSS - by 1914 the largest single
women's suffrage organisation. The author argues that, although a
less dramatic organisation than the WPSU, the NUWSS was far more
responsible for laying the pre-war groundwork for the
enfranchisement of women in 1918.
