Suffragette Girl is an heart-wrenching tale of love and liberty by
the author of The Clippie Girls, Margaret Dickinson. When Florrie
Maltby defies her father by refusing to marry Gervase Richards, she
sets off a chain of events that will alter her life. Instead she
goes to London and becomes involved with the suffragette movement.
She's imprisoned for her militant actions, and goes on hunger
strike. With her health deteriorating, there is one person who can
save her - Gervase. After a brief stay in the countryside to
recuperate, Florrie returns to London to continue her fight for
women's rights. Only the outbreak of the Great War puts a halt to
her activities. It is when James, her younger brother, is shamed by
their father into volunteering, that Florrie enlists as a nurse and
is sent to the Front. Amidst the fear and horror of the hospital
close to the trenches, she finds love. But when her beloved brother
is accused of desertion, help comes from a very unexpected source.
