Sinopse
Características

Norah Dacre Fox (aka Elam) was the General Secretary, chief organiser and spokeswoman for thethe Womens Social and Political Union. Banishedfrom the Suffragette Fellowship, she gained notoriety for joining Oswald Mosleys inner circle in the 1930s. Interned in Holloway Prison during both world wars, Norahs spirit of radical feminism was well suited to the revolutionary Britain of the early twentieth century. The authors attempt to understand how this serialmilitant who spent the first part of her life fighting for equality later turned to the dark forces of fascism, and they explore the long lasting emotional impact on their family.Combining a family-history-mystery quest with aportrait of the latter days of the militant suffragette movement and the activities of the British Union of Fascists, this is a page-turner.(Elizabeth Crawford, Author, The Womens Suffrage Movement,Routledge, 1999)
