Votes for Women by Joyce Marlow
This anthology reveals the long and bloody history of women getting the vote. Drawing on extracts from diaries, newspapers, letters, journals and books, the story is pieced together using the voices of the women themselves, showing the passion and bravery in their "unladylike" behaviour. Joyce Marlow has sought to go beyond the obvious, particularly beyond London, to show the ordinary women - middle and working class - who had the courage to stand up and be counted; and just as likely hectored or pelted with eggs.
Joyce Marlow was born and bred in Manchester. She started her working life as an actress before turning to full-time writing. She is the author of The Virago Book of Women and the Great War. Married with two sons she lives in the High Peak district of Derbyshire.
