Suffragettes, Suffragists and Antis - Kathy Atherton

The women of the Surrey Hills were particularly active in the militant 'suffragette' campaign. Many of its most colourful characters were drawn from the villages around Leith Hill and the Pankhursts planned campaigns for the village of Holmwood, the home of Fred and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence. But it was also home to non-militant campaigners, and those who opposed the vote for women. This is the story of a community and its involvement in the national debate on women's freedom and equality from the 1860s to the 1960s.
