Hearts and minds : suffragists, suffragettes and how women won the vote / Jane Robinson. - London : Doubleday, 2018. - 400 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 23 cm.
Set against the colourful background of the entire campaign for women to win the vote, 'Hearts and Minds' tells the remarkable and inspiring story of the suffragists' march on London. 1913: the last long summer before the war. The country is gripped by suffragette fever. These impassioned crusaders have their admirers; some agree with their aims if not their forceful methods, while others are aghast at the thought of giving any female a vote.Meanwhile, hundreds of women are stepping out on to the streets of Britain. They are the suffragists: non-militant campaigners for the vote, on an astonishing six-week protest march they call the Great Pilgrimage. Rich and poor, young and old, they defy convention, risking jobs, family relationships and even their lives to persuade the country to listen to them. This is a story of ordinary people effecting extraordinary change.
