Suffragette The Battle for Equality

Suffragette 

The Battle for Equality

David Roberts 2019

We first discovered this book at the library and I was smitten!  The artwork is fantastic!  I actually don't know much about the Suffragette movement, except for the incident with Emily Wilding Davison who ran out onto the racetrack during the Epson Derby and was trampled to death by a horse (this is included and illustrated in the book).  David Roberts does a thorough job in the best sense of the word to describe the beginnings and necessity of the Suffragette movement.  He biographies key characters and explores the movement historically, its ties to labor unrest, violent clashes, the cultural differences between the movement in America and England, and the effect of WWI.  It's all fascinating stuff and the illustrations make it a feast!
