For more than a century a dedicated and courageous generation of women risked everything in their fight for the vote, enduring assault, imprisonment and torture. Many came from North Devon. This is their story. Clovelly - suffragettes ambush the Prime Minister Ilfracombe - militancy arrives in North Devon Barnstaple - the biggest sleepover Devon has ever known Bideford - women fight to be heard Holsworthy - a dramatic arrest Lynton - explosive events hit the headlines
Interesting read so much loss by such courageous every day ladies from humble simple lives they took such brave steps. They never took the safe path putting themselves into so much danger. Quite shocking at times the way they were treated for what in my country we now take for granted the Vote. God rest their souls.
