"Suffrage: women's long battle for the vote," by Ellen Carol Dubois, 2020.

[Timeflyer]

Subtitle could have been "women's long, long, very long--way too long--battle for the vote", finally won over a century after the founding of America. Hey--suggestion: any laws relating to women that were made before 1920 should be automatically invalidated because the governed citizens weren't represented.

Good, informative, if infuriating because of the entrenched resistance to women's rights. Sound familiar?

1. My great-nan (or maybe great-great)

Was one of the women who chained herself to the fence at Buckingham Palace for the vote. Got force fed at Holloway prison for her trouble.

Rumour had it she tried to cut power lines to Parliament. AFAIK, she never publicly owned it, but she was the type to do it.
