About:
Great-grandson Peter Barratt with sister suffragette Ruth Pownall give a
stirring and passionate account of working-class suffragette, Alice
Hawkins, and her hard-fought campaign for the right to vote. Mother of
six, lifelong socialist and shoe machinist by trade, Alice was arrested,
imprisoned and almost forgotten, until now. As the UK approaches the
centenary of working-class women gaining the vote, hear the suffragette
history you were never taught and see her very own ‘Votes for Women’ sash,
hunger strike medal, prison notes and more. Urgent, political and deeply
human.**** (The Student Newspaper).
