{"product_id":"the-suffragette-bombers-simon-webb-9781526796677","title":"The Suffragette Bombers: Britain's Forgotten Terrorists","description":"In the years leading up to the First World War, the United Kingdom was subjected to a ferocious campaign of bombing and arson. Those conducting this terrorist offensive were members of the Women's Social and Political Union; better known as the suffragettes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe targets for their attacks ranged from St. Paul's Cathedral and the Bank of England in London to theaters and churches in Ireland. The violence, which included several attempted assassinations, culminated in June 1914 with an explosion in Westminster Abbey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimon Webb explores the way in which the suffragette bombers have been airbrushed from history, leaving us with a distorted view of the struggle for female suffrage. Not only were the suffragettes far more aggressive than is generally known, but there exists the very real and surprising possibility that their militant activities actually delayed, rather than hastened, the granting of the parliamentary vote to British women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Webb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526796678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526796677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Simon Webb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044678103295,"sku":"9781526796677","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_991afcfa-aa62-407d-86c5-418929777b24.jpg?v=1684974241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-suffragette-bombers-simon-webb-9781526796677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
