The Suffragettes by Various

5.0

This is a lovely bind up of primary documents relating to the suffrage movement in Great Britain (though there is a speech from Pankhurst, 'Freedom or Death', in the US). I read a number of these documents and have seen some of the propaganda items separately, but it is nice to have a bind up of all of them together. This would definitely be a great introduction to the movement for anyone interested in reading/researching the suffrage movement, but who are not sure where to start.

In terms of the chosen works- a really solid general overview at the movement, as well as the push against the movement (anti-suffrage)- which I appreciated the inclusion of the anti-suffrage materials because it gives a well-rounded understanding that not all women pushed for suffrage, it was not a "shoulder-to-shoulder" experience for all.
