My Best Friend the Suffragette

1913. Mary and Christine have different views about "Votes for Women",
but that doesn't stop them from becoming penfriends. In their
letters, the girls try to make sense of the suffragettes, from
smashing windows to blowing up golf courses. Then Christine's cousin
sneaks out one night, and the fight for the vote is on the girls'
doorsteps.

---

Join two best friends as history is made in 1913. Eleven-year-old
Christine has been taught that a girl's place is at home looking
after her family and putting up with BEASTLY BIG BROTHERS. Mary
has been taught that a girl's place is learning how to CHANGE THE
WORLD.

After meeting outside the suffragette headquarters, the girls become
fast friends, writing as often as they can. Their letters fly
back and forth across London, as the VOTES FOR WOMEN campaign threatens
to bring the nation to its knees - buildings BURNING, windows
SMASHING, postboxes EXPLODING. Will their friendship survive?


Celebrating one hundred years since women first gained the right
to vote, My Best Friend the Suffragette is an exciting read
for children aged 6+, packed with fascinating historical details.
