They do a great job, but they don't get a lot of the books I read about - especially those published outside the U.S.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-78447716458854831352016-04-16T19:52:26.878-05:002016-04-16T19:52:26.878-05:00I don't think I've seen Annie Kennedy ment...I don't think I've seen Annie Kennedy mentioned before, Ann. Thanks for the recommendation of Shoulder to Shoulder - I will have to look for that.<br /><br />You have the most interesting family history :) I don't know of any suffragettes in my family, perhaps because they were more recent immigrants.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-13924012408213290642016-04-16T15:41:24.632-05:002016-04-16T15:41:24.632-05:00This is such an interesting time period; I like to...This is such an interesting time period; I like to read about it.

(in fact, Grandmother said that she generally wrote letters to legislators, who were forever explaining that there was no room on the current legislative calendar for their petition, but perhaps they could submit it again next year?).Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265595595318070025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-19997121099052075792016-04-16T01:21:28.190-05:002016-04-16T01:21:28.190-05:00I agree that the upper-class woman was probably mo...I agree that the upper-class woman was probably modeled on Lady Constance, and the working-class woman was almost certainly Annie Kenney. If you can find it , there was a mini-series called SHOULDER TO SHOULDER about 1974 which explored the British suffragist movement.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265595595318070025noreply@blogger.com
