Books
- Rebel Girls: their fight for the vote by Jill Liddington (Virago, 2006) shortlisted for the 2008 Portico Book Prize.
'When she was arrested, sixteen-year-old Huddersfield weaver Dora Thewlis was catapulted on to the tabloid front pages as 'Baby Suffragette'. Dancer Lilian Lenton waited till her twenty-first birthday - then determined to burn two buildings a week until the Liberal government granted women the vote.
Drawing upon brand-new evidence, Jill Liddington tracks the story of the campaigners who took their message across the north of England to the remotest Yorkshire Dales and fishing harbours, and offers us an utterly original history of suffrage.'
We are indebted to Jill for her fantastic research into the suffragettes and suffragists of Kirklees. For further information about Jill's other works, talks and walks in Kirklees please see: http://www.jliddington.org.uk/
