Votes for women, 1860-1928 - Paula Bartley

This new edition has been updated to include the latest historical interpretations of key issues surrounding the suffragists and suffragettes. The text introduces the key figures involved in the women's suffrage movement and goes on to consider the arguments advanced by those who supported and those who opposed votes for women (in particluar, the response of men to the campaigns). The narrative also highlights the pace and extent of suffragist and suffragette activity, and assesses their contribution to the First World War and the extent to which women gained the vote as a result of their efforts during the conflict. The study guides have been revised in line with the requirements of current AS and A level modules, and provide a firm basis for answering source-based, extended-writing and essay questions.
