Call to mind a suffragette icon and the Pankhursts are more likely to appear than the Actress Franchise League. Here, two academics set the record straight, looking at how the battle for the vote was won.... by artists, writers and actresses in the early 20th century. Founded in 1908 by...performers, including Ellen Terry, the AFL organised meetings, sold literature, wrote plays and ...supported the feminist cause. Cockcroft and Croft give them a decent 30-page chapter, set out mainly as a list of biographies of the influential figures, from Ellen Terry to shop assistant Vera Wentworth.
