The British Women's Suffrage Campaign, 1866-1928

This is the first book to trace the British women's suffrage campaign from its origins in the 1860s through to the achievement of equal suffrage in 1928. It provides an up-to-date synthesis of the most recent scholarship and contains new material on the 1920s suffrage campaign, based on the author's own research. Unlike most studies it pays equal attention to the period after 1914 when suffrage legislation was actually obtained and it views the campaign within the broader political context.
