Summary

The suffragettes outraged Victorian societyyet behind the protests, arrests, and hunger strikes, this comprehensive and compelling biography reveals that the family lives of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, the movement's leading lights, were just as dramatic. Martin Pugh's meticulous research makes use of neglected archive material and eye-witness accounts to examine the tense relationships, tortured political disagreements and alliances, and very public victories and defeats that marked the lives of this sometimes dysfunctional, but always exceptional, family. While exposing the inner workings of the suffragette movement, this astonishing account explores the triumphs and tragedies of four extraordinary women who changed the course of women's history.
