Votes For Men

By Mary Eleanor Gawthorpe

Book Overview

Votes For Men is a book written by Mary Eleanor Gawthorpe in 1913. It is a historical account of the suffrage movement in England, which fought for women's right to vote. The book covers the period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, when the suffrage movement gained momentum and ultimately led to the passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918. Gawthorpe, who was herself a suffragette and a prominent figure in the movement, provides a firsthand account of the struggles and triumphs of the suffragettes, including their protests, hunger strikes, and imprisonment. She also discusses the opposition faced by the movement, including the violent tactics used by the government and anti-suffrage groups. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in the fight for women's rights and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for the right to vote.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
