Sophia: Princess, Suffragette, Revolutionary by Anita Anand
5.0
Those suffragettes were frickin awesome.
Sophia was especially awesome. I like that she got involved in activism in her 30's. I like how she used her class privilege/ princess status to get more attention for women's rights.
Also, the British did f-ed up things in Punjab. Not a surprise.
Also also, did you know concentration camps were invented in South Africa by a British commander to use primarily against the Boers? And that Gandhi learned about hunger strikes from suffragettes in British prisons?
I guess I should probably mention that this book is SO GOOD.
