註釋This work introduces a selection of literary texts from the early 20th century, offering a new perspective on women's campaign for the vote in Britain. the ways in which campaigners used literary forms to mobilize political ideas and challenge gender ideologies. The works of major figures in the campaign are included as well as those who formed the rank-and-file, who opposed women's suffrage, or who simply observed the action. The excerpts are long enough to enable the reader to become familiar with the diversity of voices, explore the textual strategies adopted and understand the issues that prompted the most passionate debates. writing, the material is organized around four key aspects of the campaign: conversion to the cause; suffrage militancy; the prison experience; and questions of identity. Each extract is prefaced by contextual information and a chronology is provided. The book includes brief biographies of all the authors.
