Webb, Simon, 1954-

THE SUFFRAGETTE BOMBERS : BRITAIN'S FORGOTTEN TERRORISTS / SIMON WEBB. - xvi, 188 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Simon Webb explores the way in which the suffragette bombers have been airbrushed from history, leaving us with a distorted view of the struggle for female suffrage. Not only were the suffragettes far more aggressive than is generally known, but there exists the very real and surprising possibility that their militant activities actually delayed, rather than hastened, the granting of the parliamentary vote to British women.
