I've just finished what is my 18th talk,
'Votes for Women'
The story of the Suffragettes and
Suffragists and their struggle for emancipation from 1865 to 1928.
It includes an account of Emily Wilding
Davison's death in the 1913 Epsom Derby and a pen-picture of some of the
leading protagonists, who they were and what happened to them.
It also describes the political situation after the First World War and why the government finally agreed to give women the vote.
