Dora Thewlis, a sixteen-year-old working a ten hour day at a weaving loom in a Huddersfield mill in England, longs for a meaningful life and a better world for women and is thrilled at the chance to go to London to march with the suffragettes. But will her devotion to the cause survive the misery and humiliation of arrest and prison? A fictionalised account of a true story. Includes notes about the Thewlis family, the mill, WSPU Huddersfield Branch, the Suffragettes, the Women's Parliament and March to the House of Commons on 20 Mar 1907, what happened next to Dora, and a brief history of the Woman's Suffrage Campaign in Britain. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
