The Women
Who Won The Vote
It is a scandal that the Tollemache women are not better known in the wider suffrage story. 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.
These 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, specially-commissioned cover by Tina Altwegg.
The Women Who Won The Vote is the first in an occasional series of bookettes taking a closer look at women who have a particularly extraordinary untold untold story.
PS: Because the cover is so fabulous, Tina and I have made this available as a greetings card (without the text, obviously). Visit my shop to snap up your card/s. They are blank on the inside.
