In their campaign for votes for women, the infamous battle cry of the suffragettes was 'Deeds Not Words' and few responded with such vigour as the writers, artists and performers who contributed to the cause. In the creative explosion that followed, bringing together the talents of so many women at the start of the 20th century, no opportunity was missed to hammer home the need for female suffrage.

From the sublime enamelled pendants of the artist Ernestine Mills, to the more extreme performances of the Actresses' Franchise League, this book explores the many weird and wonderful ways the suffragettes chose to publicise their cause.

In Art, Theatre and Women's Suffrage, authors Irene Cockroft and Susan Croft offer us a chance to marvel at the imagination, talent and sheer commitment of some quite brilliant individuals and their work.

To coincide with a major exhibition at the Museum of Richmond-Upon-Thames, UK, home of many of the early campaigners for the vote.
