Synopses & Reviews
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.
Review
