Product Description
Product Description
18th June, 1910 We marched from the Embankment to the Albert Hall. It was a glorious day. The sun shone warmly. Everyone was in good spirits. There were aristocrats, artists, even my mother looked happy. She who has been so opposed to my work with the WSPU. More than 10,000 people had rallied and there were dozens of bands playing. It was quite incredible. We waved banners, carried flowers, sang along with the tunes. Hundreds who have been imprisoned for our Cause marched together in a powerful band. It was all very rousing of spirit. I felt proud to be a woman, proud to be alive, proud to be a part of a movement that is fighting to make a difference.

suffragette diary
18 Jun 2004
Format:Paperback
The book is okay,but near the end Dollie is force fed (tube in the nose). The book is pretty informative about what suffragettes did. There is a good deal of protesting and breaking things. Unfortunately, there is quite a description of Dollie and other marchers being assaulted, both verbally and physically (and raped), by policemen. While it may be historically accurate, I do not consider this content appropriate for kids.
