Suffrage and power

"The Women's Cause is One"--A slogan from a 1919 lobbying pamphlet in support of women's trade unionism - sums up the crusading spirit of this exciting but neglected period in women's history. This book shows that the Women's Movement, through its network of organisations and its powerful and widespread campaigning, was transformed and developed into a formidable fighting force, and continued its assault on entrenched positions to secure women's full and equal participation in society - in politics, commerce, industry and the professions, education, welfare, politics and for franchise extension. This study confounds the myth of the Movement's post-war decline.
