Notes
Today women take it for granted that they are able to vote in elections. Yet, only 75 years ago, they were not allowed to vote at all. In the years leading up to the First World War, a group of brave women and girls formed the Suffragette Movement to fight for women’s right to vote. This book tells you about the lives of the suffragettes - their protests and beliefs, their life at home and at work, as well as their times in prison.Contents
