It's 1914 and two young women in the women's suffrage movement in London meet each other and a young author working as a reporter who is writing stories about the movement. Short and painless, it serves as an introduction to the many types of women who fought and sometimes were brutalized in the cause. ( ) no reviews | add a review
An historical story about the Suffragette movement. From very different social backgrounds, Fiona Campbell and Lady Belle Isherwood share a passionate dedication to the same cause - the campaign of the Suffragettes to win the vote for women. Writer Guy Dangerfield's interest is more objective - the Suffragettes are simply good copy, although his sympathy grows considerably, as he gets to know the two young women. As they enter 1914, the struggle becomes ever more bitter and intense. For Fiona, in particular, the time is fast approaching to stand up and be counted, no matter how frightening the consequences - public condemnation, prison, hunger strikes. And all the time war looms. No library descriptions found. |
