HEARTS AND MINDS - JANE ROBINSON KARTONIERT (TB)

_______'A history book that should be read by all' - Stylist. Set against the background of the
campaign for women to win the vote  this is a story of the ordinary people effecting
extraordinary change. 1913: the last long summer before the war. The country is gripped by
suffragette fever. These impassioned crusaders have their admirers  some agree with their aims
if not their forceful methods  while others are aghast at the thought of giving any female a
vote.Meanwhile  hundreds of women are stepping out on to the streets of Britain. They are the
suffragists: non-militant campaigners for the vote  on an astonishing six-week protest march
they call the Great Pilgrimage. Rich and poor  young and old  they defy convention  risking
jobs  family relationships and even their lives to persuade the country to listen to them.
Fresh and original  full of vivid detail and moments of high drama  Hearts and Minds is both
funny and incredibly moving  important and wonderfully entertaining.
