The militant campaign which secured women's suffrage is generally considered the project of a group of wealthy women, but the movement was significantly helped by working-class supporters in the local organizations of the Women's Social and Political Union. Whitmore sets out to redress the balance through a detailed case-study of a Leicester factory worker whose campaign on the streets saw her attacking pillar boxes and being badly beaten by police.
