Abstract:
"The Women's Suffrage Movement is the first comprehensive reference work to bring together in one volume the wealth of information available on the individuals and organizations involved in the women's suffrage movement from the 1860s to the 1920s." "Drawing on national and local archival sources, the book contains more than 400 biographical entries, and over 800 entries on societies, covering both the constitutional and militant wings in England, Scotland and Wales." "Easily accessible and rigorously cross-referenced, this invaluable reference source covers not only the political developments of the campaign but provides a vital insight into its cultural context, listing novels, plays and films and defining the position of publishers and newspapers on the question of women's suffrage. The book also looks at the iconography and artefacts of the period, such as the postcards, jewellery and china engendered by the campaign." "The Woman's Suffrage Movement is an essential reference tool for students of history, gender studies, politics and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.
