"The book is filled with stories of feats of endurance, ruses, escapes and disguises - amusing, touching, and sometimes horrifying. The Suffragettes in Britain tried peaceable methods and were eventually driven to extremes of behavior totally alien to their upbringing and previous life. They were caught up in battles with policemen and reduced to to fighting sadistic doctors and wardresses in prison, who tried to feed them through tubes. when the fight was on, class barriers ceased to exist; led by the Pankhursts, mill girls and ladies of high rank worked equally together. A study of the activities of the militants, using, among other artifacts, the accounts of some of the survivors" --book jacket.
