This rich collection of prison narratives, short stories, songs, plays and essays from the 1890s to the early modernist period eloquently recounts the story of Britain's suffrage campaign. Offering some material that has not been reprinted since its initial publication, Nelson (West Virginia U.) places the writings in context with her cogent introduction. She also includes a list of significant dates and brief biographies of the represented authors. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
