With the outbreak of World War I, German-born Kitty Marion,
suspected of being a German spy and placed under surveillance,
sailed from Liverpool for New York. She left a dramatic and
colourful life behind: a hectic and fascinating 20-year career as a
performer crisscrossing Britain first as a singer, dancer and
actress on the musical comedy and pantomime stage, and then in
music hall as a 'refined comedienne'. She campaigned against the
sexual abuses rife in the theatre of the day which led her
eventually into the suffragette movement where she became a
'notorious' militant, responsible for numerous acts of arson. She
was imprisoned, went on hunger-strike, and was force-fed more than
300-times. In America, she became a celebrated 'foot-soldier' in
Margaret Sanger's birth control movement. Her autobiography,
written in the 1930s is published here for the first time. -- .
