About this listen

1913: the last long summer before the war. The country is gripped by suffragette fever. These impassioned crusaders have their admirers; some agree with their aims if not their forceful methods, while others are aghast at the thought of giving any female a vote.

Meanwhile, hundreds of women are stepping out onto the streets of Britain. They are the suffragists: nonmilitant campaigners for the vote, on an astonishing six-week protest march they call the Great Pilgrimage. Rich and poor, young and old, they defy convention, risking jobs, family relationships and even their lives to persuade the country to listen to them.

Jane Robinson has drawn from diaries, letters and unpublished accounts to tell the inside story of the march.

I’ve listened to this book eight times. That should tell you all you need to know. A brilliantly written book about women’s suffrage with rich detail. Beautifully read.

Enriching.
