Book
Bring Out the Banners
First published 1994
Young women enter the suffrage movement as marches, meetings and direct action challenge the political exclusion of women. Friendship and family expectations are strained by arrest, hostility and disagreement over tactics.
Trease introduces the movement through organisers and supporters rather than presenting reform as a gift from government. The novel distinguishes constitutional campaigning, militant action and the wider argument over women’s work and citizenship.
