* An exploration of the creative explosion that occurred when the campaign for the vote brought together the talents of so many female writers and artists at the start of the 20th century. * An overview of the artists, designers, writers and actors involved in the long campaign for women's suffrage. * Originally published to coincide with a major exhibition on the Suffragettes in 2010. Writers and artists included: Cicely Hamilton, Chris St. John, Inez Bensusan, Elizabeth Robins, Ernestine Mills, Pamela Colman Smith, Mary Lowndes, Emily Ford and Sylvia Pankhurst.
What a fabulous book. Certainly recommend it strongly when I give talks, etc. Great there's so much in it about their marketing strategies, use of visual devices, etc and the strong staging opportunities such as Emily D's funeral. They were so much before their time.' Susan Homewood, Sylvia Pankhurst Trust ... this is not a book about the gesture. It's a story of connected and concerted bravery... a compelling reminder of a fierce and quietly-neglected artistic movement. Exeunt Magazine
