It was a bloody and dangerous war lasting several decades, won finally by sheer will and determination in 1928. Drawing on extracts from diaries, newspapers, letters, journals and books, Joyce Marlow has pieced together this inspiring, poignant and exciting history using the voices of the women themselves.
Some of the people and events are well known, but Marlow has gone beyond the obvious to show us the ordinary women who had the courage to stand up and be counted - or just as likely hectored or pelted with eggs. These women, knew the power of humour and surprise and exhibited extraordinary passion and bravery.
