Description
A work by Marion Holmes about the life of Lydia Becker, a leader in the early women's suffrage movement in Britain. Becker's first known involvement in women's suffrage was in 1868 at a public town hall meeting. After that, she founded the Women's Suffrage Journal publication with Jessie Boucherett, and the duo began hosting speaking tours around Britain. Present at one of these tours was a young Emmeline Pankhurst, a future political activist and later pioneer for women's suffrage.
