Description:

First edition. Small 8vo. 160x110mm. pp. 94, [2pp adverts, dated February 1912]. Publisher's green cloth lettered in black to upper cover and spine. Some marking and soiling to covers and a tiny nick to the foot of the spine. Some passages marked in red or blue pen or in pencil and there is a short tear to the foot of the hinge of the first gathering. Otherwise, a nice copy of a succinct and authoritative history of and guide to the Women's Suffrage movement by the woman who, as President of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies did more than anyone to bring about votes for women. Less militant than the Women's Social and Political Union (the "suffragettes"), the NUWSS (the "suffragists") had a much larger membership and played a long game
