Norah Dacre Fox (aka Elam) was the General Secretary, chief
organiser and spokeswoman for the the Women's Social and Political
Union. Banished from the Suffragette Fellowship, she gained
notoriety for joining Oswald Mosley's inner circle in the 1930s.
Interned in Holloway Prison during both world wars, Norah's spirit
of radical feminism was well suited to the revolutionary Britain of
the early twentieth century. The authors attempt to understand how
this serial militant who spent the first part of her life fighting
for equality later turned to the dark forces of fascism, and they
explore the long lasting emotional impact on their family.
"Combining a family-history-mystery quest with a portrait of the
latter days of the militant suffragette movement and the activities
of the British Union of Fascists, this is a page-turner."
(Elizabeth Crawford, Author, 'The Women's Suffrage Movement',
Routledge, 1999)
