The March of the Women: A Revisionist Analysis of the Campaign for Women's Suffrage, 1866-1914

by Martin Pugh

Overview

The March of the Women is the first comprehensive analysis of the campaign for women's suffrage to appear for thirty years. It offers a fresh perspective on the militant and non-militant tactics used by the suffragettes, and shows how they gradually convinced the entrenched all-male Members of Parliament of the validity of their cause by the outbreak of the First World War.
