Opis

The March of the Women is the first comprehensive analysis of the campaign for women's suffrage to appear for thirty years. It offers a fresh perspective on the militant and non-militant tactics used by the suffragettes, and shows how they gradually convinced the entrenched all-male Members of Parliament of the validity of their cause by the outbreak of the First World War.

Recenzje

Pugh brings to the story four essential qualities: a round understanding of the British political structure and how it has evolved; a rich grounding in the archives and secondary sources; a full awareness that here the distinction between social and political history is important; and above all, the historian's fair-minded determination to see things as contempories saw them, without hindsight, wishful thinking or preaching.
