Through the analysis of an astonishing array of objects - including books, bags, petitions, posters, postcards, plays, photographs, china, chess sets, leaflets, newspapers, games, jewellery, scarves, badges, belts, sashes, rosettes, films, and figurines - \u003ci\u003eThe British Women's Suffrage Movement in 100 Objects\u003c\/i\u003e explores the role that material culture played in this vital struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElizabeth Crawford looks at how, during the sixty-year campaign, items that played any part in life were put to work for 'votes for women', as suffrage activists both used and abused buildings, transport, and communications. These included not only objects created by the campaigners to influence public opinion, but also those produced by commercial firms to capitalise on the extraordinary publicity generated by the 'votes for women' movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Every one of the 100 objects included in this highly illustrated book represents a stage in the journey to equal citizenship. Among them are many our ancestors could have had in their homes or noticed in the street. Using the words of suffrage campaigners and their contemporaries, the accompanying text sets each object in context, with passages explaining politics and key personalities included throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Crawford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350520772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350520776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 1.00d","brand":"Elizabeth Crawford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801310605567,"sku":"9781350520776","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-british-womens-suffrage-movement-elizabeth-crawford-9781350520776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
