Inhaltsangabe

"Burning to get the Vote" was the message left by suffragettes in March 1913 after they fire-bombed Saunderton Station.

This book draws on original research to re-create the suffrage campaign in Buckinghamshire of a century ago and brings alive the struggles of some notorious and some less well-known figures in the women''s fight for the vote.

Muriel Matters, Hugh Franklin and Frances Dove were key figures in this local and national struggle, which involved public meetings, propaganda and a pilgrimage, as well as more extreme methods: tax evasion, window-smashing and arson.

This is a popular but thorough local history of the suffrage movement, unearthing previously undiscovered evidence and tracing the trajectories of both the law-abiding National Union of Women''s Suffrage Societies and the militant Women''s Social & Political Union in the county.
