Biography
Andrew Rosen
'He has documented the militant period more closely than anyone has yet done, and his account is detailed, clear and balanced... As a guide through the political scene Rosen is superbly equipped...' Claire Tomalin, Observer
'It is well written and lively, makes interesting reading and in no way belittles, makes fun of, or attempts to turn the history into an emotional record of the times.' - Carol Dix, Guardian
'At last we have a historian of the suffragette movement who is prepared to study its subscription lists, its oprganisational structure and its methods of recruitment, and...to see things sometimes through the eyes of the authorities.' - Brian Harrison, Sunday Times
