'A wonderful, inspiring story told with scholarship, passion and
wit' - Miriam Margolyes 'A must-read' - Independent on Sunday With
an introduction by Dr Helen Pankhurst. An illuminating and riveting
exploration of the women's movement in Britain, and the
extraordinary women behind it. From the passing of the Marriage and
Divorce Act in 1857 to all women attaining the vote in 1928, the
struggle for suffrage in the United Kingdom was to be fought using
the weapons of intellect, searing rhetoric, and violence in the
streets. Ordinary women rose up to defy the roles prescribed by
their society to become heroes in the battle for equality. Using
anecdotes and accounts by both famous and hitherto lesser-known
suffragettes and suffragists, March, Women, March explores how the
voices of women came to be heard throughout the land in the pursuit
of equal voting rights for all women. Lucinda Hawksley brings the
main protagonists of the women's movement to life, sharing diary
extracts and letters that show the true voices of these women,
while their portrayals in literature and art - as well as the media
reports of the day - show just how much of an impact these
trailblazers made. 'An accessible and engaging guide to the
original women's movement' - Daily Telegraph
