The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies 1897-1914 (Routledge Revivals)

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), this book highlights its crucial role in the women's suffrage movement from 1897 to 1914, contrasting it with the more militant Women's Political and Social Union. The author emphasizes the significance of the NUWSS as the largest women's suffrage organization by 1914 and argues that its non-violent, constitutional approach was instrumental in setting the stage for women's enfranchisement in 1918, despite being often overlooked in historical narratives.
