- Description
- Between the death of Queen Victoria and the outbreak of the First World War the campaign for women's suffrage was fought in the public arena. Led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia, the suffragettes and their actions would come to define protest movements for generations to come. From their marches on Parliament to the selling of their paper, Votes for Women, through to the more militant activities of the Women's Social and Political Union, whose slogan 'Deeds Not Words!' resided over bombed pillar-boxes, acts of arson and the slashing of great works of art, the women who participated in the movement endured police brutality, assault, imprisonment and force-feeding, all in the relentless pursuit of one goal: the right to vote.

- Description
- A memoir of Khalida Brohi (ca1990), a Pakistani activist for women's rights and a social entrepreneur. She grew up in a village as a member of the Brahui people, an indigenous tribe of Balochistan, Pakistan. She was brought up with cultural traditions such as arranged marriages and honor killings. At the age of sixteen an honor killing of her cousin inspired her career as an activist, first with writing poetry about her experience and reading it at events, later with a FaceBook campaing for the WAKE UP Campaign Against Honor Killings. From there, she created the Sughar Empowerment Society, focused on empowering the lives of women in rural communities through education and employment opportunities, while working to change the minds of male partners, fathers and brothers. .With photo section.

- Description
- This volume is a collection of contributions centered around three main themes. The first part, brings together first-hand accounts from women’s lives as they face the horrors of war, drawn mainly from original sources such as diaries, letters, memoirs and writings. The second explores the lives and thought of several women activists who challenged inequalities and sought to create new opportunities for women, contributing to the definition of a transnational culture of peace. The final section examines the work of a group of women who saw the outbreak of the First World War and the emergence of an international women’s movement for peace as an opportunity to act for their personal emancipation, and, in some cases, for a different idea of politics. The volume provides a selection of contributions from little-known European contexts such as Italy, Poland, and Austria. The presence and contribution of African-American women, which has been neglected in the history of women’s pacifism, is also explored. Particular attention is given to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and to the International Congress of Women, held in The Hague in 1915.
