Description
Suffragettes of Kent offers a thought-provoking insight into the lives of those involved in the women's suffrage movement in Kent. This book tells the story of a young working-class woman who became part of this pivotal moment in history.
Through photographs and personal accounts, the book explores the key events and figures of the time, including the arrest and imprisonment of one of the suffragettes, and the visits of prominent leaders such as Charlotte Despard and Emmeline Pankhurst. The book also delves into the role of Maidstone Gaol in the movement.
Discover how Kent played a significant part in the national suffrage movement, from the Women's Freedom League van to the mass pilgrimage from all parts of the country to London in 1913. This is a fascinating and lesser-known chapter in British history that sheds new light on the struggles and sacrifices made by those fighting for women's rights.
