First edition of Strachey's history of women's suffrage in Great Britain. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece portrait of Millicent Fawcett. In good condition. Ownership name. In 1872, the fight for womenâs suffrage became a national movement in England with the formation of the National Society for Womenâs Suffrage and later the more influential National Union of Womenâs Suffrage Societies (NUWSS). In addition to England, womenâs suffrage movements in Wales, Scotland and other parts of the United Kingdom gained momentum. By 1906, the movements had begun to shift popular sentiments and a militant campaign began with the formation of the Womenâs Social and Political Union (WSPU). Known as the suffragettes, its membership and policies were tightly controlled by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia (although Sylvia was eventually expelled). The WSPU membership became known for civil disobedience and direct action. It heckled politicians, held demonstrations and marches, broke the law to force arrests, broke windows in prominent buildings, set fire to post boxes, committed night-time arson of unoccupied houses and churches, andâ"when imprisonedâ"went on hunger strike and endured force-feeding.

An attractive example in original dustwrapper of Ray Strachey's "best-known and most successful book" (ODNB), uncommon thus. An in-depth history of the women's movement, collected and written by a woman who was instrumental in much of the movement itself. Strachey came from a liberal, artistic family which had close ties with the Bloomsbury group. She campaigned and wrote extensively on women's suffrage, and later stood as an independent for Brentford and Chiswick for three general elections before becoming the parliamentary secretary for the UK's first female MP, Nancy Astor, and then the head of the Women's Employment Federation. Her papers are held at The Women's Library at the London School of Economics. "While acknowledging in a limited way the importance of the militants, [the book] established a version of the suffrage movement that endorsed the views and celebrated the role of Millicent Fawcett and the NUWSS" (ODNB).
