A fascinating collection of engaging and informative essays that extend our knowledge about the centrality of the arts to the women's suffrage movement. * June Purvis, Emerita Professor of Women's and Gender History at the University of Portsmouth, UK * This collection transforms our understanding of artistic contributions to the women's suffrage campaign by detailing the experiences of artists, consumers, campaigners and propagandists. A genuinely pioneering work, it illuminates how women balanced their professional lives as artists with their feminist activism, as well as bringing to life the variety of visual culture designed and made during this period across Britain and Ireland. This innovative and timely collection should find a wide and appreciative audience. * Senia Paseta, Professor of Modern History at St Hugh's College, University of Oxford, UK *
