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.



As with 
all my talks it is very well illustrated with over 30 PowerPoint slides with lots of contemporary photographs and a video of the 1913 Derby.
