Courage: Luddites, Peterloo, Chartists, Suffragettes
A raw graphic history of the fight for the vote by Polyp
The shockingly violent story of the struggle for the UK vote, from the Luddites to the Suffragettes: compact, vivid, raw and challenging. Told entirely in the words of the time.
Ideal for young adults, totally unsuitable for anyone with a rose-tinted view of history.
A great companion piece to PETERLOO.

About the author
Polyp
9 books16 followersI've been scratching 'Polyp' political cartoons since 1980 and took it up full time in the 90's, having been a care worker before then.
New Internationalist Magazine, bless 'em, gave me my first big break, turning over a whole issue to STARVE TREK, a political spoof of Captain James Knee Jerk beaming neoliberal politics down to reluctant planets throughout the galaxy. I owe them my career.
Since then I've drawn cartoons for anyone who'll have me, including Ethical Consumer Magazine, WDM, Christian Aid, War on Want, The Big Issue, Friends of the Earth, FoE, Liberty, People and Planet, Campaign Against the Arms Trade, and all the other usual suspects.
As for my politics... well... read the cartoons, chuck in some chunks of Bill Hicks, radical democracy, direct action, the co-operative movement, Karl Popper: then stir and then give it your best guess.
I'm very active in the skeptics movement, taking both an anti religion stance, and one against psuedoscience - particularly where it collides with my political beliefs.
