This is the story of the Suffrage movement from the points-of-view of the two key players, Sylvia Pankhurst and the British Prime Minister of the day, Herbert Henry Asquith. These opposing views in the story are told in alternate chapters. Both figures were passionate, courageous and each believed in the correctness of their stand. The story begins in the years before the first World War and on into the militant years after the war when hunger strikes, force-feeding, imprisonment and violent reactions to street marches became common practice.
