Book excerpt: This social and political history of women’s suffrage in Portsmouth, England, covers a century of struggle from the mid-nineteenth century into the twentieth. The women of Portsmouth had to be tough. Many of them kept their families together during wartime, others worked in domestic service or in nearby stay factories. The local suffrage movement was driven as much by the lack of opportunity as by ruinously unjust laws. This volume shines a light on the women of Portsmouth who struggled for change. In the Victorian Era, women had few rights, and faced being thrown into an asylum thanks to the Contagious Diseases Acts. But in the First World War, they proved their ability to work effectively in the male workforce. And in World War II, women persevered as Portsmouth was destroyed by enemy bombing. Through this long, tumultuous period, a gathering chorus of pioneering women raised their voices. Those voices are now collected here, allowing the women of Portsmouth to tell their own stories of the fight for equality.

Book Synopsis Struggle and Suffrage in Wakefield by : Gaynor Haliday
Download or read book Struggle and Suffrage in Wakefield written by Gaynor Haliday. This book was released on 2019-06-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the men of Wakefield, but apart from a couple of well-documented individuals, the women of Wakefield have remained largely ignored. Yet many women in this prosperous West Riding town worked hard to improve their lives and those of other women. Whether this was healthcare, housing, working conditions or providing refuge and training so that girls with no means of support could be made fit for employment, Wakefield’s women worked separately and together to achieve their mutual goals. Some were active campaigners and lobbyists, others chose vocations that quietly improved the lives of the women around them. Struggle and Suffrage in Wakefield uses historical newspaper articles, minutes of meetings, annual reports, first-hand stories and research into census returns to illustrate how women’s lives changed over a 100 year period and reveal some of those Wakefield women whose influence made things happen.
