Memories of a Militant | Annie Kenney

This is a fascinating contemporary account of Annie Kenney"s life and her tireless work in the Suffragette movement. Someone of her views (especially on race) are quite "of their time", but it's a great first-hand insight into the sacrifices and efforts made to win women the vote.

It's the 100th anniversary of some women being given the vote in Britain. Annie Kenney wasn't as well-to-do as most of the Suffragette leadership - she was a mill worker and trade unionist from Oldham, who started working in the mill when she was 10. There's currently a campaign to raise money to build a statue of her here. @batsy @Cinfhen
