Votes for women, 1860-1928 (2nd ed)

Updated to include contemporary historical interpretations of key issues surrounding the suffragists and suffragettes, the second edition of this text introduces the key figures involved in the women's suffrage movement and goes on to consider the arguments advanced by those who supported and those who opposed votes for women.

In particular, the book examines the response of men to the campaigns.

The narrative also highlights the pace and extent of suffragist and suffragette activity and assesses the suffrage contribution to World War I and the extent to which women gained the vote as a result of their efforts during the conflict. The study guides have been revised in line with the requirements of A and AS level modules and provide a firm basis for answering source-based, extended-writing and essay questions.
