In 1918, after years of campaigning, many British women over the
age of 30 gained a parliamentary vote. Cheltenham was the hub of
activity in the Cotswolds, and before the First World War it had a
number of vigorous societies and individuals. From being imprisoned
for trying to approach the prime minister to refusing to be counted
in the 1911 census, local women - and many men - from across the
region fought a valiant and dignified campaign to make their voices
heard. At a time when women had very little power inside or outside
the home, this is the story of how they supported each other to
demand a say in the affairs of the country. Richly illustrated and
featuring previously undiscovered material, this is the first book
to investigate the women's suffrage movement in the Cotswolds and
to celebrate the many who supported the cause.
