Millicent Garrett Fawcett (1847 1929) was an influential writer on
political and social matters, especially on topics such as female
suffrage and women's education. She was one of the supporters of
Newnham College, Cambridge, and was later offered the post of
Mistress of Girton, but refused because of her commitment to
women's suffrage. She was active as a Suffragist, and opposed the
violence of the Suffragette movement. In 1918, women over thirty
were given the vote, but this did not end Fawcett's struggle for
equal rights, and full suffrage was not achieved until 1928. This
work, published in 1920, looks back at the long campaign for
women's suffrage, and concludes with an examination of what had
actually been achieved in 1918. It supplements her 1911 work
Women's Suffrage, a Short History of the Great MovementFor more
