"One hundred years on, it is hard to imagine the violent disruption caused by the suffragette movement. After a century of peaceful protest had brought no progress a small group of determined women took matters into their own hands and turned to direct action. By virtue of their actions the cry 'Votes for Women' was heard throughout the country. One of these unlikely 'vandals' was a mature middle-class spinster called Sarah Benett. After leaving home on the death of her parents, she spent a decade attempting to improve deprived workers' conditions in the Staffordshire potteries. Realising that nothing could be achieved until women obtained the vote and could compete with men on equal terms, she moved to London aged 55. Disowned by her family she joined Mrs Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political union and became an active suffragette."--Provided by publisher Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
