THE WOMEN WHO WON THE VOTE
BOOKETTE, Published: SPRING 2026

It is a scandal that the Tollemache women are not better known. Linked to national militancy, arrested and imprisoned several times, these four sheroes led the way for the wider emancipation of all women. And their story didn’t stop with votes for women. 

The extraordinary ladies were also advocates for vegetarianism, animal welfare, market gardening, the arts, the political left, the Vedanta Movement for peace, and they opened one of the UK’s first Youth Hostels. It is finally time to reveal the glorious true story of the Tollemache women in this 62-page suffragette bookette, with a beautiful cover by Tina Altwegg.
