Suffragettes of Kent

Suffragettes of Kent is my first book.  It is published by Pen & Sword Ltd and  includes many stories, and journeys of hope, determination, courage and sacrifice of those involved in the women's suffrage movement in Kent.  


There were tours of Kent completed by the Women's Freedom League in 1908 and 1913 and the Women's Social and Political Union in 1913.  I retraced these tours and include their messages and the reaction of the Kent inhabitants.  Included is also a detailed account of the significant part Kent played in the 1913 mass pilgrimage to London by the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies.


Revealing the part Maidstone prison played in forcible feeding of suffragette prisoners, my book includes accounts by those who experienced such treatment including Annie Kenney. Other leading pioneers featuring are: Emmeline Pankhurst; Millicent Fawcett; Charlotte Despard; Christabel Pankhurst; Emily Wilding Davison; Jessie Kenney; Vera Wentworth; Elsie Howey; and Muriel Matters.


You can find out who in Kent signed the very first mass petition for votes for women in 1866 and who boycotted the 1911 census.  Discover details of militant action and arson attacks in the county. Read accounts of how the Prime Minister at the time, Mr Asquith, and the Home Secretary, Mr Gladstone, were targeted in Kent by suffragettes.
