How the Vote Was Won is a very funny piece and, with Hamilton's Pageant of Great Women, one of the most successful suffragette plays. Amongst the many feeble arguments put up against enfranchising women was the proposition that women did not need the vote because they had men to look after them. In the play women take men at their word, giving up their jobs and homes and turning to their nearest male relatives for support. Poor old Horace Cole, a clerk on £3 a week, finds himself with a houseful of female dependents and they are funnier, smarter, and richer than him! --Lucienne Boyce
...in the play Votes for Women by Elizabeth Robins, home as nation takes prominence. The feminist characters in the play strive to save British lower class women from their miseries, but they do not stop there. They also offer to save the men from themselves, promoting the enfranchisement of women as the remedy for England's crises at home for men as well as women... --Nancy Kerns
This book is brilliant - it has some better known Suffrage Plays and some lesser known gems as well as a list of all the Suffrage plays performed and lots of extra info. It's an extraordinary resource. Total gem. The author wears her scholarship lightly and it is easy to read - however the amount of information is fantastic and very detailed. There is so much to this book and it is an essential and much needed addition to the books available on Suffrage theatre. --NP - Amazon 5 * review
Reseña del editor
The astonishing women involved in the Actresses Franchise League set up their own theatre companies and engaged with the battle for the vote by writing and performing campaigning plays all over the country. They launched themselves onto the political stage with their satirical plays, sketches and monologues whilst at the same time challenging the staid conventions of the Edwardian Theatre of the day. The legacy of their inspiring work to change both theatre and society has survived in the political theatre, agitprop and verbatim theatre we know today. Introduced and set in an historical context by Dr Susan Croft together with a chronology of suffrage drama.
