Recensione

... this is not a book about the gesture. It s a story of connected and concerted bravery... a compelling reminder of a fierce and quietly-neglected artistic movement. --Exeunt Magazine

'What a fabulous book. Certainly recommend it strongly when I give talks, etc.. Great there's so much in it about their marketing strategies, use of visual devices, etc and the strong staging opportunities such as Emily D's funeral. They were so much before their time.' --Susan Homewood, Sylvia Pankhurst Trust
