]]>Rob’s series is about people who’re a little less well known (on the whole) than Davison, who is at least mentioned in several GCSE syllabus textbooks. I did my A Level history coursework on the women’s suffrage movement and she was definitely part o’that!
I think if there are unsung heroes to be found among the suffrage campaigners they’re probably working class women who were treated on the whole far worse in prison (as Lady Constance Lytton discovered when she was arrested in disguise) and women of colour. I’ve been trying to find out more about women of colour and the suffrage movement lately – so far the resources I’ve turned up online have been about the US movement, but I shall share these links:
* article on Ida B Wells, lynchings in the US, and the Temperance movement
