The Bristol Suffragettes

by Lucienne Boyce - £11.99  SilverWood Books Ltd (2013)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781781321065 | ISBN 10: 178132106x

In the days leading up to Churchill’s visit, the Bristol WSPU circulated leaflets reminding readers that the 1832 Bristol Riots had been instrumental in the passing of the Reform Act the same year which broadened the male franchise. The leaflet invited women to assemble “in their thousands” outside the Colston Hall. The day before Churchill arrived, Nurse Pitman of Clifton “sent a message to Mr Winston Churchill”. The message was half a brick, and it was delivered through the plate glass windows of the Post Office in Small Street...
 
In 1907 suffragette Annie Kenney brought the militants’ fight for women’s right to vote to Bristol. For the next few years the city rang with the cry "Votes for Women!” From colourful demonstrations on the Downs and stone-throwing in the Centre, to riot on Queen’s Road and arson in the suburbs, Lucienne Boyce tells the fascinating story of Bristol’s suffragette years. The book includes a short walk in the Bristol of the suffragettes.
