This volume was published in 1921.
Eyewitness details of the early women's suffrage movement and their encounters with the politics of Great Britain. 
From the book's Preface:
This history of the Women's Suffrage agitation 
is written at a time when the question is in the very 
forefront of British politics. What the immediate 
future holds for those women who are most actively 
engaged in fighting for their political freedom no 
one can foretell, but one thing is certain: complete 
victory for their cause is not far distant. 
When the long struggle for the enfranchisement 
of women is over, those who read the history of the 
movement will wonder at the blindness that led the 
Government of the day to obstinately resist so simple 
and obvious a measure of justice. 
The men and women of the coming time will, I 
am persuaded, be filled with admiration for the 
patient work of the early pioneers and the heroic 
determination and persistence in spite of coercion, 
repression, misrepresentation, and insult of those 
who fought the later militant fight.
Perhaps the women born In the happier days that 
are to come, while rejoicing In the Inheritance that 
we of to-day are preparing for them, may sometimes 
wish that they could have lived in the heroic days 
of stress and struggle and have shared with us the 
joy of battle, the exaltation that comes of sacrifice 
of self for great objects and the prophetic vision 
that assures us of the certain triumph of this twen- 
tieth-century fight for human emancipation. 
In writing this history of the Militant Women's 
Suffrage Movement I have endeavoured to give a 
just and accurate account of its progress and happen- 
ings, dealing fully with as many of its incidents as 
space will permit. I have tried to let my readers 
look behind the scenes in order that they may under- 
stand both the steps by which the movement has 
grown and the motives and ideas that have animated 
its promoters. 
To many of our contemporaries perhaps the most 
remarkable feature of the militant movement has 
been the flinging-aside by thousands of women of 
the conventional standards that hedge us so closely 
round in these days for a right that large numbers 
of men who possess it scarcely value. Of course it 
was more difficult for the earlier militants to break 
through the conventionalities than for those who fol- 
lowed, but, as one of those associated with the move- 
ment from its inception, I believe that the effort was 
greater for those who first came forward to stand by 
the originators than for the little group by whom the 
first blows were struck. I believe this because I 
know that the original militants were already in close 
association with the truth that not only were the 
deeds of the old time pioneers and martyrs glorious, 
but that their work still lacks completion, and that 
it behoves those of us who have grasped an idea 
for human betterment to endure, if need be, social 
ostracism, violence, and hardship of all kinds, in 
order to establish it. Moreover, whilst the origi- 
nators of the militant tactics let fly their bolt, as it 
were, from the clear sky, their early associates rallied 
to their aid in the teeth of all the fierce and bitter 
opposition that had been raised.
