This was a really engaging read. It tells the story of Kitty Marion's life, capturing her character so well, while also giving a good overview of the suffragette movement as a whole. Most importantly it shows the scale of violent action by the suffragettes and explores why it has often been erased by historians and by suffragette leaders themselves in favour of a sanitised version. It's a fascinating part of history and while some of their actions can't be excused, it's important to know this side of the suffragette story.
